Copyright Rules

[Erin]

Part of our responsibility in administrating and moderating the Wellspouse Forums is to assure that the posts made to our boards by our members do not violate copyright law.

We ask that you refrain from posting:

- Private emails
- Messages from other discussion boards
- Articles without permission to reproduce

You may post:
- A link directing readers to a discussion or article
- 100 words or less from an article as long as those 100 words are not a substantial part of the piece. If you are quoting from a short work such as a poem or a short article then 100 words may not be an acceptable fair use allowance. You should restrict yourself to a minimal quote from the piece. Anything more requires permission to print/reproduce in writing from the copyright holder and placed within your post.

Any posts that do not adhere to these guidelines will be deleted by the Moderator or Administrator.
