Posting articles written by others than you

Post by Doreen Peri » October 3rd, 2006, 7:50 pm

When you post articles written by others than you, you're all doing well by posting a link to where you originally read the article.

It's debatable whether it's OK to post an entire article in regards to copyright infringement. It's my opinion that this is not an infringement as we aren't publishing the article here. This is a bulletin board, not a publication. It's for discussion and in my opinion, I believe it falls into the Fair Use laws for being OK since repeating the text for discussion has educational value.

That said, who knows whether the authors of the texts will agree with me. We're not making any money on the text and you all post articles for discussion purposes and educational purposes but just to be safe, let's please use the quote tags so that any text you didn't write yourself is obviously quoted.

Also, as always, please include the link to where you saw the article published on the net.
When using the quote tags, the words you are quoting will appear like this.
Thank you!
