Not entirely true. Excerpts of a copywritten piece can be quoted under fair use laws. Reprinting something in it's entirety is probably a no-no but is [i]possibly[/i] acceptable under fair use laws as you are not a for profit site. I'm not an expert on fair use, however, nor am I a lawyer. As a rule of thumb I'd avoid reprinting things in their entirety but excerpts are just fine.


Which is why I quote a few sentences in my Journal of References entries from source articles but limit myself to that. They were the first thing I thought of when I started barking about this, actually. More what I was trying to convey with 'don't post especially in full' was "don't post 1/2 the article, or 3/4s the article and ESPECIALLY not all of the article - if it's copyrighted."

Keep it down to small snippets, if you want to dance on the head of a pin. Anything larger . . . well, that's why God invented hyperlinking.
