The Fear
A Wise Man (once sat next to him)
Fine folks of Vital Blackpool!
Trust you are all well during these strange times.
Just wanted to ask if you could be careful not to cut and paste complete articles, just quote a bit and link. We get issues from time to time, with papers being in contact over breaches of copyright. Also, don't cut and paste images as photographers can be very litigious. Fine if you embed tweets or facebook images though.
I've cut and pasted from another site:
Just a reminder so we don't all get in trouble/infringe copyright:
Folks, as per our rules...
6 - Can people remember as well as quoting the source to copy and paste the article LINK into the thread please and don't cut and paste the WHOLE of someone elses article on Vital, it is a copyright infringement.
**********
SO PLEASE DON'T quote the whole article. Quote a part and then link.
eg:
A football club has been criticised for posting a job advert which told people not to apply if they needed to pick up their children from school.
The advert for general manager of football at Lancashire's AFC Fylde also warned prospective employees not to apply if they wanted work-life balance.
then link to the rest:

As opposed to cut and pasting the whole article which means people don't click and go to the original source. It isn't fair to the original author / site not to get the traffic from it
