By the way, claims of fraud and plagiarism falls on the artist or author generally not the outlet, unless and until extraordinary circumstances can be proven. I mention this because most publications do not include non-liability claims outside of a general disclaimer. Ask Quogmire, he can explain this in more depth. Having the author formally take responsibility for fraud/plagiarism/whatever is a fairly common feature of writing contracts, although it's not often mentioned in informal "hey, here's the deal" arrangements because, as you said, it's not strictly necessary. It seems reasonable enough to me, though. Basically it's another way for the publisher to avoid being caught up in any disputes that the writer gets into.

Might be the bright blue pill needed to get this Zine banging on all cylinders.
Zanshin, take what you will out of my input. You're heart in the matter of things, has won me over, I will submit to this source of T&T goodness. But if I see the droppings of the Great and Cosmic Elephant start, I will be antagonistic.
