Notice of Rules Change

[WOSgrad]

We just wanted to let y'all know about a rules change that we have just implemented regarding the posting of articles or other items originating from other sites.  Laws regarding articles reprinted on the internet is still being sorted out, but it appears that in most cases, copying and pasting the text of an article originating from another website is violation of that site's copyright laws.  Therefore, we have amended the Rule 10 of the forum rules to state the following:

"10) To ensure that copyright laws are observed, post only the link to any articles, photos or other material originating from other websites.  DO NOT paste the entire text of an article or photo here as such may violate the originating site's rights.  In limited cases, PORTIONS of the text of a article may be allowed, but should be avoided if possible."

The last sentence is to allow us to post a portion of an article to help make a particular point. 

Thank you,

question: If it is noted that what you are posting was found on "x" website or "as quoted by x on x website"; is this still a violation? ???
