Summary
| Description |
══════════════════════════════════════ These leaflets are from scans of <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/alanstanton/sets/72157620235733453/"> 'good cause collection' leaflets</a> delivered in our neighbourhood. I've added factual information and useful links so people can decide whether to give clothing and other stuff to the collection companies. ══════════════════════════════════════ The wording of this leaflet makes clear that Helpmates Ltd is "a commercial collecting company". Which is presumably intended to avoid the need for a licence. Companies House Register showed (on 1 May 2011) that Helpmates Limited - with the company registration number on the leaflet - was incorporated on 13 April 2006. Its status was shown as "active" and its business as: "Wholesale of clothing and footwear". Its accounts and other returns were then up-to-date. A Google search (also on 29/01/2011) showed several websites with criticisms of Helpmates Ltd as a company running a commercial recycling business, distributing leaflets which stressed the "good cause" aspect of its activities. ______________________________________________ Links § The helpful website <a href="http://www.CharityBags.org.uk" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.CharityBags.org.uk</a> suggests that it may be misleading for a commercial collector to use the word "donate". § Online search of <a href="http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/info" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Companies House Register</a>. § <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/alanstanton/sets/72157620235733453/">Click here</a> to see my set of 'good cause collection' leaflets. § Helpmates Ltd was discussed by <a href="http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/investigations/2008/01/beware-charity-leaflets-asking.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Andrew Penman of the Daily Mirror</a> on 31 January 2008. § There's nothing new about businesses which make house to house recycling collections. See Wikipedia link to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rag_and_bone_man" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Rag and bone man</a>. Of course, this aspect has been sentimentalised.

The depicted text is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it is not a “literary work” or other protected type in sense of the local copyright law. Facts, data, and unoriginal information which is common property without sufficiently creative authorship in a general typeface or basic handwriting, and simple geometric shapes are not protected by copyright.
This tag does not generally apply to all images of texts. Particular countries can have different legal definition of the “literary work” as the subject of copyright and different courts' interpretation practices. Some countries protect almost every written work, while other countries protect distinctively artistic or scientific texts and databases only. Extent of creativeness, function and length of the text can be relevant. The copyright protection can be limited to the literary form – the included information itself can be excluded from protection.
