Copywrite infringement - what can/can't be printed?


Bookmark and Share


I would never intentionally contravene copywrite rules and regulations, but I recently fell foul of the rules without appreciating that I had done anything wrong.

I quoted from another publication, giving credit to the author, and source of the publication, and suggesting that the information was of interest and directing readers to the originating source.

I had thought that this would not be an issue, and would in fact, be appreciated.  But not the case.

I now understand that only with the consent of the originating publisher can I use the copy.

So lesson learnt!

Hi. I'm Jan. Married with two lovely daughters. Have very little spare time as my second job is a taxi service taking them to various activities every weekday evening and on Saturdays (not complaining - it's good that they have lots of interests)!
