Isn't it perfectly legal to quote say a paragraph of somebody's work, as long as you reference it?

There is fair usage which is literally a small paragraph or snippet for the purpose of discussion around the content that has been published.

Funny but it wouldn't work the other way,

The SUN stole my game from the old 606, never credited me with it or paid me when I made it clear it was not 'the game that's sweeping the internet' but they had merely lifted it off the website.

B astards.

Did you copyright it?

They have no need for copyright law in Britain's second city

Ridiculous comments.

I'd guarantee that sites like ja606 actually provide these sites with more traffic that we make it lose as there are so many links to articles that lead to hits and browsing time on their websites.

This is the same bloody story with all content aggregators. The times came away from Google as it felt Google should pay for the privilege of using the times at it lost 40% of its traffic.

Ridiculous from these sites to go to way with a football forum that does them more good than harm.

Will take note Admin

Not really.

If somebody searches a story they've heard about and it comes up on JA606 higher than a newspaper, the newspaper is going to be pretty angry, especially since it's their content in the first place. It's good for the site in terms of traffic but copyright is the law and therefore you have to abide by it.

It's much better, more debate worthy and more interesting for the site if people write their own articles, using the news they have read as a reference.

In fact I've just finished studying copyright as part of my first module and it's very interesting what is and isn't acceptable.

No.

I'm a little fish, my point was that Dave Masters I think had read our website, seen my article, published it, credited his fellow journalists for some of the entries and offered £250 to the best ones sent in (which was b ollocks anyway) Hardly fair IMO.
I emailed him and got no response either.

Admin, do you have any rights over content published here?

Twitter stole my Hazard Signs!!! idea.

What I'm saying is TOOR there are hundreds of links posted to websites per day on this board that could lead to possibly thousands of extra hits that these websites may not have gotten otherwise.

How often is an article fully posted on here anyway?

Admin are you able to say the nature of the infringement?

You guess thousands, I'd probably say hundreds. Now imagine how many it would be if people searched Google for say "Rooney is a Thug" printed in the Daily Star and copied on here and the search results gave Ja606 above the original article. You are talking hundreds of thousands. Millions even.

We reserve the right to use content published on here and authored by ja606 members in any capacity. But the owner of the original article should still have a copyright claim on their stuff.

One way to answer that.

Admins, on articles in which there is an original newspaper article embedded copied and pasted, do you get a significant rise in the number of hits compared to normal articles, as Toor is suggesting?

Of course they do, what do you think the new site is for?
