Thanks for the info.

by Pino (from F1 forum) :)

Copying entire articles is against the law and against our policy/rules, so please don't do that. It's allowed to take short excerpt or selelcted parts from an article but the total must not exceed 10% of the work. In all cases a source or a link must be given.

Thank You

:up: :)
I was unaware of this, and considering the increasing tension, as it appears on the media sources with regard to the topic of cyberspace copyright these days, I was wondering about this topic, and was intending to bring it up.

Anyways, good to know. Thank you.

PS - I almost forgot... is it okay to post the link still?.. as a reference?

Standard copyright and "fair use" law. Many organisations don't care either way, but I can well imagine some who go to a lot of effort to write articles and then see them copy+pasted without attribution wouldn't be best pleased.

Not only is it ok, it's required!

Yeah, that's understandable. At times I've gotten carried away with the c+p stuff myself. :blackeye:

I wasn't sure, since there's been quite a bit on the news about copyrights and where sources were obtained from.
