Cohousing-L Mailing List: posting text of articles

[Rodney Elin (crm114]

In addition to refraining from quoting the full text of articles, or 
even posting them, people should realize that the vast majority of 
articles presented in an online medium are copyrighted and it is very 
likely a violation of copyright law to paste the text of an entire article.

Just posting a URL that pints to the site that hosts the article in 
question should be sufficient, and it clearly will not violate the 
copyright holder's rights.

Even if the article is on a site that requires some sort of registration 
or fee for access, that is no reason to bypass the copyright holder. 
These sites charge fees or otherwise make readers jump through hoops for 
a specific reason. Lets not thwart their purpose.
