mikeweil Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 damn - I was just about to post the entire text of War and Peace - anybody know if it's still under copyright? In capitalist America, everything is under copyright - don't worry, someone will be there to claim the royalties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 I assume it's ok to post a link without quoting anything. Or maybe not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 I assume it's ok to post a link without quoting anything. Or maybe not? I'm sure that's fine, though I agree with medjuck that a paragraph or two is often nice just to make sure it is worthwhile clicking through. I mean how many times do you want to get Rick-rolled?

You should be okay. Unless, of course, there's a Disney version in the works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 What if the poster is the author of the article? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papsrus Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 What if the poster is the author of the article? Publications generally have guidelines about this. But basically, if someone is paying you to write for them, they may not want you to go spreading your hard work around for free. OTOH, they might quite like it if you spread links around pointing back to their publication (unless they use a crappy server because they've downsized, in which case everyone involved ends up pissed off eventually.)

J.A.W. Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Please, when posting an article from another website, include a hyperlink to that site. Also, don't quote the full article, but rather the first few paragraphs and then put a link at the bottom for folks who want to read more to do so. For example: New Music Detroit, nonstop By MARK STRYKER • FREE PRESS MUSIC CRITIC • September 4, 2008 CLASSICAL In case you've missed one of the most exciting developments on the local classical music scene in years, metro Detroit finally has a contemporary music ensemble that takes no prisoners. New Music Detroit, a cooperative group that made its debut last year, has been turning heads with its ferociously energetic and virtuoso performances of music that's almost never heard in metro Detroit -- everything from downtown idioms like minimalism and its offshoots to the gnarly experiments of the European avant-garde, free jazz, rock hybrids and eclectic post-everything music so new the ink is still wet. To read more, click here. If everyone can do this, it would be ultra snazzy. If you find someone not complying with the new rule, please report the post to me and the moderators. Thank you! Please observe this forum rule. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
