I know many of us are here supporting each other and researching to benefit everyone. That is greatly appreciated. I participated in some conversation recently that made me aware of some things that I would like to share. The chances that anyone of us might get into trouble are slim but still feel it would be useful to have some understanding of these laws and guidelines and respect the resources we use for research by at least being aware of the laws and abiding by them if possible. fairuse.stanford.edu/fairuse.stanford.edu/Copyright_and_Fair_Use_Overview/Thank you JJ |

Thank you, JJ. Might be a good idea to pin this one.

Yep, started the process Sid ..... then realized how filled up with stickies this page is getting. It appears most have a hard time turning the page to page two and so on. Don't devalue any of them, we just need to figure out were they are best suited. That's touchy.
Will let this float for now but will eventually sticky.
Thanks
JJ

Thank's JJ,,,, it's a needed topic.. We can't find everything on our own and need to be able to rely on other members to post the important stuff, just encase we missed it..
From what I learned recently,, basically, if something is posted anywhere on the net, and can be accessed by the public "even if it claims to be copyrighted material" it can be copied and pasted elsewhere on the net (like here on LB) without written or verbal consent of the materials owner "as long as there is no profit involved".. The creator of the material basically gives up "exclusive intellectual rights" to the material, once they choose to post it for public access.. Or something like that..

Rhorn Iv'e been interested ever since we touched on intellectual property. Like you, that is what I originally thought in general. It appears it isn't quite as black & white as that. In Academics and Education (for example) it can be much more specific. If you have the chance to at least check out CHAPTER 7. Academic and Educational Permissions, that will further elabotate on the topic. JJ |

Thanks JJ...
I always thought what rhorn said too... once something becomes available to the public it's free to copy and paste. I think that's why they turn to pdf files in some instances... cuz you can't copy and paste those, but I'm not sure.
hugs ~~ bannanny
