Posting content,

Hi everyone, I appreciate a lot of effort placed on posting content and having discussions on our forums. I would like ask everyone to limit your posts including content from other articles, sites etc. just to links and your own commentary. There is a serious violation of the copyright law involved here and obviously, I do not want to have this on my shoulders. Since SPVI posts articles we also like to have links leading to our site, simply to receive traffic. So I do not like to see full copies of the articles elsewhere. I appreciate your cooperation on the subject. I think it is ok, to quote parts of it and post the link as well. Thank you all and continue with great posts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use

"[A] reviewer may fairly cite largely from the original work, if his design be really and truly to use the passages for the purposes of fair and reasonable criticism. On the other hand, it is as clear, that if he thus cites the most important parts of the work, with a view, not to criticize, but to supersede the use of the original work, and substitute the review for it, such a use will be deemed in law a piracy...
In short, we must often... look to the nature and objects of the selections made, the quantity and value of the materials used, and the degree in which the use may prejudice the sale, or diminish the profits, or supersede the objects, of the original work.

For the most part quoting a single part of an article (of a larger sized article) should be withing the borders of "fair use." Complicating things is international private law, I do not know for example australian law and if it has some sort of fair use principle. I know there is a convension most countries of the world has agreed to, "bern convention" but have not read this. In Norwegian law, I belive you are allowed to quote a paragraph in a litterature work. "Sitatretten" (directly translated to quoteright.) To be on the safe side I think people should do like odyd12 is writing and simply link to the article and make your own commentary.

so just to keep it simple for you eysteinh. It is my law. I do not want anyone copy and paste any articles to the forum. Be a sport and copy a link. Internet is build on traffic and people want their sites to be visited. The forum is for opinion sharing not sharing someone's work. You like an article share a link, you have comment on it, tell us. The server is in US and I am Canadian, also I am site editor and owner (SPVI) and people do not work nights to get their intellectual property copied. I think everyone here can do the right thing, if they cannot then I will step in.
