In general, does a writer have to get permission to quote from this or any other "forum" ?

Argie's Wife · 09-26-2009, 09:09 AM

Of course they do, Steve. It's a public forum, not a closed one, and all people/sources are properly credited in the article.

If you can find it in a Google search, you can write a story about it - just give proper credit from the sources.

AW,
You have accidentally contradicted yourself. Yes / No.

Argie's Wife · 09-27-2009, 08:22 AM

No, sorry, but I don't think I did...

In a nutshell: there is no copyright on the intellectual property in this forum.

SteveA · 09-27-2009, 08:42 AM

Thanks.. I think

The general rule I was asking about would be:

As long as you give credit to the person and/or source, anything on a "public" forum is fair game. Right?

I was confused by the first statement in your reply "Of course they do, Steve." (Argie's Wife)

My question was "In general, does a writer have to get permission to quote from this or any other "forum" ? "

So, your response confused me just a little... but I get it now... honest.

Maybe we could blow this into a S/L or Restaurant Review type debate? Kidding, just Kidding!

Argie's Wife · 09-27-2009, 10:30 AM

Ah... I didn't get the "have to get" part of your question.

But now I get it.

(I understood it as "does a writer have the right...")
