Here's the accepted procedure, when you believe a post violates the board copyright rules. Flag it by checking thisIt's jackasses like you who make this forum not fun to visit and discuss real issues. Do you really think it was plagerism for me to post something that I got off the world-wide net? They can put those signs about not printing up all they want, but once it is published on the net, it becomes public domain. Now, back to the real issuse before my thread was hijacked."for permission to reprint"
It actually doesn't. The argument that when it's on the Internet it's public domain, is like saying when a film is released on DVD it's public domain, or when a book is available in the Library, it's public domain.
Did you even read your own article? It says so in the middle and at the end that it is copyrighted.
This forum is great, as long as people don't keep posting the same crap over and over until it's dead in a mud puddle like a homeless drunk.

It's not your place, or mine, or anyone else but the admin and staffers to decide what is a copyright violation and what is not, and attacking the OP on the grounds of the possible violation instead of addressing the point and the topic is one of the most infantile forms of deflection, bordering on trolling.
Have you nothing to say on the topic?
