I see "Copyright © 2005 Giant Magazine." at the bottom of these interviews. Did someone get permission to reprint? -- Tom 03:56, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

A few days prior to the creation of this article here, I emailed the editors of said magazine. Initially, I received an automated message stating that my submission had been received and subsequently I was sent a brief email from "Customer Services" (although I had requested to talk to an editor) stating that my placing of the complete article on a public website such as a wiki was permissible provided: a) A link to the original article would be included [one that contains Giant's Magazine advertisements/banners, i.e., non-third party] and that b) Giant Magazine and the journalist Ben Goldstein would be acknowledged (and due credit given) prior to the interview text copied here. Hopefully I went through the proper channels for permission. —THE PAPER PREEEOW 04:17, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Yup, that's exactly correct. The two things that could have been done differently would be to get a specific date to add to the title of the article (or at least a month), and to post an exact transcript of their email to you. Thanks for finding the new one though, this section is starting to look really clean and spiffy. Thunderbird 07:08, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
