Editor Question

[zilla]

Does the below mean stuff like Rivals? Or are you even including copy and paste of ESPN articles for example?


Please do not post the entire contents of articles written for publication elsewhere, unless they are a press release (from say, a University or business). You'll get me in trouble if you start posting more than teh title and a summary of copyrighted articles

i think its all. i know AP made a big stink about it a couple years ago with some bloggers.

yeah its ok to post a link with some quotes from the link but its copyright infringment to post an entire article from some other sight to this board.

[editor]

The above are correct. AP is suing people whose websites quote more than a line or two from their copyrighted content.

Best practice: quote an important line. summarize the rest and offer a link. That keeps me from having to pay lawyers.
