In accordance with industry accepted best practices we ask that users limit their copy / paste of copyrighted material to the relevant portions of the article you wish to discuss and no more than 50% of the source material, provide a link back to the original article and provide your original comments / criticism in your post with the article.
[quote:Anonymous Coward 36668391:MV8yMjE5MjAxXzM3NjAxMDM3XzFDOTlDRDI0] [quote:Salt:MV8yMjE5MjAxXzM3NjAxMDAwX0E5RDAwQjQ0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 18835401:MV8yMjE5MjAxXzM3NjAwOTc4XzVGMjc0OTVC] Salt, I once posted a full article to analyze and demonstrate how short the article was, and its lack of content on a particular subject. It is my understanding that this was a fair use. Would you agree? [/quote] if it is genuinely used for education purposes, it is always a good idea to post the statute: [i]This is copyrighted information presented under the Fair Use Doctrine of the United States Copyright Act (section 107 of title 17) which states: 'the fair use of a copyrighted work...for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.' In practice the courts have decided that anything which does not financially harm the copyright holder is fair use.[/i] even if you are using copyrighted material for fair use, you still have cite/link the source.

Original Message
In case some of you don't know, or forgot, we have a 50% rule for posting news and articles. Copying and pasting anything over 50% is considered a copyright violation.
Also, ALWAYS cite/link the source.
And, posting lyrics is forbidden.
Be careful, you guys!
You do not want your thread deleted or red karma for violating this very simple rule, do you?
Edit from phenn:
***also be careful when making CRV reports - ive noticed some are reporting as 100% or even over 50% and the article happens to be in compliance. be accurate in your reporting as the poster gets penalized for said violation of posting rules -
we get that sometimes the proxy youre using strips the forum of images and or font color - so some of you may not "see" the the "reminder" to the left of the posting box. so you have to remember our posting policies. - You all have been here long enough to know our posting policies - and FTR when you post, theres a HUGE RED FONT REMINDER to the left of the post box - cmon dont pretend you dont see it. its as subtle as a brick thru a window ffs - we will be enforcing bans for copyright violations and the -3 point negative red karma.
theres no excuse folks
