<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 7626323, member: 112&quot;]It&#039;s obvious to me at least that you misunderstand the situation. Jack can post his articles and or pictures - articles that he has written, and pictures that he has taken - any time and as often as he cares to post them. And I strongly encourage him to do so ! And he can do this because he owns the copyright to those.</p><p><br /></p><p>But what he cannot do is post articles that were written by others - because they own the copyright to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The thread in question, started by Jack, that was removed, (at Jack&#039;s own request by the way), <u>was an article written by somebody else</u>. It was not written by Jack. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, you can do that. Posting a small excerpt is OK and it does not violate copyright law. It&#039;s called the Fair Use clause. But there is a limit to what you can do.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, if you find an article you wish to share and or discuss on the forum you can copy and paste, say a few sentences, or even the 1st paragraph of the article, and provide a link to the rest. </p><p><br /></p><p>But you cannot copy and paste the entire article or a significant portion of it. </p><p><br /></p><p>And no, giving credit to the author does not change anything. You DO NOT gain permission to copy the article by giving credit to the author ! <u>The one and only way</u> you gain permission to copy the article is <u>by getting written permission</u> from the author and or the magazine that published it ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
