Carla Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Is there a policy that governs the use of forum posts by other websites? I have a blog (generously hosted by GC), and today I found a post that I wanted to refer to on my blog, because I thought it was so good (Jack Wakeland's post in the thread "Peikoff for Kerry?"). I linked directly to the post but did not quote from it. While I don't expect to link to very many forum posts, I thought it would be good to have a clear policy on the subject (i.e., what constitutes fair use, is it appropriate for blogs to quote from the forum, etc.). Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidV Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 The content of individual posts remains the property of the writer, and as such, is not up to me to allow or forbid use of outside of the forum. Permission to link to any part of this website, or to any public website on the other hand, is universally accepted internet netiquette. There are fair use standards about quoting written text, and they are fairly liberal in such situations as long as proper credit is given.
