Re: Read this before copying and pasting
Copyright, the lilltle magic "c" is not as powerful as people believe.
If the content of the site is not the product of the author "thier intellectaul property" they have not right to copyright it. This means that they cant cut and paste build a web page and then copyright the page. They can control the look or layout if it is original and new but the content would be deemed as public property or still belong to the origianl copyright holder if there was one.
In addition you have the right to use copyrighted material as long as you give credit to the copyright holder. Heres a great example. Do you think that Coke gave Pepsi permission to use there logo and product in thier commercials? No way, but Coke does insure that that recognize the holder of the copyright.
