<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 7319605, member: 112&quot;]Yes there is, it is most definitely a direct violation if copyright law. Why ? Because you copied the entire text and Fair Use only allows a small portion of copyrighted work to be copied. And you also need to know that citing your source does not change anything, citing your source does not allow you to copy and use copyrighted work. The one and only thing that allows you to use copyrighted work is written permission from the person who has the copyright.</p><p><br /></p><p>And copying what you received in an email doesn&#039;t change anything either - the work is still protected by copyright even if you are/were not aware it was protected by copyright. In other words, ignorance is not a valid excuse and or justification for breaking the law.</p><p><br /></p><p>What you should have done, and what is legal, is to quote a small bit of the text and then post a link to the story like I did for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
