Chimpy, that's already mentioned in this post (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=57260).

And you need to just link to the article (and maybe post a paragraph or two).

You aren't allowed to reproduce the entire article from elsewhere:


Rule 4 (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=42936)
You will not post "copyright-protected" material in its entirety. The JREF has adopted a policy of considering all published material copyrighted, it is not the responsibility of the JREF to determine whether or not the work is in the public domain or if the work may be republished without explicit permission of the copyright holder. Copyrighted content may be posted within the doctrine of "fair use" therefore quoting of brief portions of articles, books, emails, or bulletin board messages, relevant to discussion, is permitted. All quoted material should be credited to the original author or publisher and a link provided (when available) to the original work. It is not possible to declare precisely how much material may be quoted, as it will vary from article to article. We suggest quoting no more than a paragraph. Authors of articles may post their own work, provided they hold publishing rights to the material.

I noticed that *just* now and apologized on the other thread. I seem to have posted this and then read the other message.

Ah. My bad. Still the Times is free access so surely it's ok? In any case, I'll stick to the forum rules in the future :-)

Most things on the internet are free access, but you still aren't alowed to reproduce them in their entirety as they are copyrighted (see the copyright information at the bottom of that Times page). Free to access doesn't equate to free to reproduce.

You really should cut it down.
Still I suspect the admins probably will anyway.

Thanks a lot Ashles.

Yeah, unless declare otherwise, anything published on the internet is copyright protected.

I'm a web geek, it's my job to know :)

Many, many thanks for this. I've passed on the info to another list where we were having similar issues. Good thing I messed up over here, someone was sure to set me straight *G*
