<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 7626375, member: 112&quot;]It&#039;s very simple. An author always owns the copyright to his work. From the very moment he writes something, or takes a picture, it is automatically protected by copyright. But he can give others the right publish his articles and pictures, but he must do so in writing. </p><p><br /></p><p>And if a magazine publishes an article, then they have a copyright on whatever they publish. That doesn&#039;t take the author&#039;s copyright away, he still owns his own copyright. And he is free to post, publish, and or share how work in other places in any way he so desires.</p><p><br /></p><p>But none of that is what happened in this situation. What Jack did was to post an article that was written by somebody else. And when he realized what he had done, he himself reported his own post and told the mods to remove that post/thread if it violated copyright law - which of course it did because Jack did not write the article ! So I personally removed it. </p><p><br /></p><p>And Jack was not punished in any way, he was not reprimanded in any way. I commend the man, I applaud him for doing what he did ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
