Steve2UK Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 A while back, we were advised that (for copyright reasons) only the first three sentences from Bangkok Post articles could be reproduced in the forum - with a link to the Post's article for access to the complete article. Is this still a requirement for all posts - including OP's from George? The reason I ask is that the http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Thailand-Lac...et-t247721.html thread opens with what looks to be the full article - certainly way more than three lines. I did ask this in a report on that post, but got no answer. Not trying to nit-pick - just wanting clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 If you post a Bangkok Post article, please use only the two first chapter or two. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journalist Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 What's the situation concerning reproductions from other publications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 What's the situation concerning reproductions from other publications? If the site has a copyright notice on it then obviously the article can not be posted in its entirety without permission from the author. However, fair use laws allow a part of it that highlights the subject's key point and not modified or re-phrased to be posted along with a link to the original article or other means of crediting. Though George is the definitive person to verify Thaivisa's stance and legalities on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journalist Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 http://www.feer.com/about/terms-and-conditions This is the link to the Far East Economic Review's terms and conditions. (just in case anyone copies the new Thaksin interview published today). As you can see in section 2, if its to be reproduced in a forum, written consent from the publisher is needed. Hope this helps. Never an easy task to jump through these publisher's hoops I realise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you have their written permission:- 5. LINKING TO feer.comRPCL will disallow any hyperlink to feer.com from your website without RPCL'S approval. This rule will actually reduce potential traffic to their site, plain dumb. Edited March 9, 2009 by Crossy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
