<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 7624381, member: 77639&quot;]A common ploy to avoid copyright issues is rewriting an article enough that it is considered new and different.&nbsp; Some prolific numismatic authors are masters at this.&nbsp; Change the title a bit, swap in some synonyms and alternate spellings for words, rearrange sentences and paragraphs, interchange active and passive voices, change tense on a few verbs, and the text is like new.&nbsp;&nbsp; There is now software available to help authors do this. Spin Rewriter and Clever Spinner are a couple of examples.&nbsp; In addition to suggesting changes mentioned above, the rewrite program will look at things like word, sentence and paragraph counts, suggest different paragraph breaks, and more.&nbsp; With the rewritten title and text, new pictures must be used too.&nbsp; Coin auction companies will often give permission to use their photos if they get credited.</p><p><br /></p><p>Facts, falsehoods, and theories can’t be copyrighted … only specific instances of expressing them can be as can pictures.&nbsp;&nbsp; Actually, titles can’t be copyrighted either, but it would be foolish not to change the title if rewriting an article on which someone else holds the copyright.</p><p><br /></p><p>Stick with us Jack!</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
