GEN: Copyright Situation With posted Messages and News

[Peter Milbury <pmilbury@IIS.SYR.EDU>]

Dear LM_NET Members,

We recently had a copyrighted article posted which did not include
permission to post. Please, please DO NOT post anything that is under
copyright without also including the fact that you have obtained
permission to do so from the copyright owner!

Please be reminded that we cannot post news articles, online books, Web
pages or other material that is under copyright protection without first
obtaining permission from the holder of the copyright. In that regard,
please see the following section of our LM_NET Etiquette. (Copyright
paragraph is at the bottom.)

6. Never post a message to the group which would not be of interest to
   thousands of people. It is considered wasteful of the time of list
   members to be pestered with meaningless (to them) messages which are
   of value only to a small number of people. LM_NET is NOT a newsgroup,
   where people reply to each other routinely posting to the group.

   Please do NOT recommend products, services, or websites unless you
   have personally reviewed or visited them.

   If a vendor asks you to post a commercial endorsement or message on
   their behalf, please check with the moderator forst. Normally, we do
   not allow such postings.

   Copyright considerations: Please do NOT post messages containing
   content which is under copyright. That includes messages that are
   posted to other online groups. Obtain permission first.

Thank you,

Peter Milbury, LM_NET Co-Moderator
School Librarian/CA TeleMentor, Chico HS, Chico, CA
