Recently have read a lot of sh*te over such things and as may be some confusion thought the below may be of interest
Obvisouly it is not the done thing if you start cutting and pasting full articles from one site to another without permission
however it is acceptable to post relevant clips of content under certain conditions
for those interested it is covered by the concept of "fair use"
dont want to get bogged down in this sort of thing unless needed, but have clipped a few words from a website
may be of interest
What is fair use?
In copyright law, there is a concept of fair use, also known as; free use, fair dealing, or fair practice.
Fair use sets out certain actions that may be carried out, but would not normally be regarded as an infringement of the work.
The idea behind this is that if copyright laws are too restrictive, it may stifle free speech, news reporting, or result in disproportionate penalties for inconsequential or accidental inclusion.
What does fair use allow?
Under fair use rules, it may be possible to use quotations or excerpts, where the work has been made available to the public, (i.e. published). Provided that:
The use is deemed acceptable under the terms of fair dealing.
That the quoted material is justified, and no more than is necessary is included.
That the source of the quoted material is mentioned, along with the name of the author

on posting links
the sites policy on posting links can be found in the terms of use
as long as the content fits in with terms of use , you can post whatever links you want
lost where chumps get the idea of links being somehow covered by copyright
on above
web copyright issues and such can be complicated
that complicated that do have to mention that the above is purely for interest and shouldn't be taken as a definte binding guide
or policy on here
however as long as members use common sense when posting clips of content or such then there shouldnt be a problem
feel free to ask if above not clear
