<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2604357, member: 112&quot;]You really need to hire a lawyer because copyright law can be quite complicated. And everything, written by anybody, is by law (1977) automatically copyrighted, even when the copyright has not been formally filed and recorded.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for other sites like the Newman Numismatic Portal already mentioned, even their site is copyrighted. That said, yes some of the material found there can be shared and even downloaded by others. But only because copyright has either expired or is owned by NNP and they grant you permission.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sharing links, at least in regard to the material being discussed, is never against the law. But sharing the actual material by copy/paste or producing scans and .pdf files, more of than not, is against the law. And even the &quot;fair use clause&quot;, well even that has rather severe and strict limitations. And no those limitations are not as open to interpretation as some often think they are.</p><p><br /></p><p>When it comes to copyright, basic rule of thumb is - when in doubt, don&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
