If You're Using Someone Else's Text Content
 

And you give credit via a link to the original source with a complete bibliography, is that wrong? I'm not bad at writing but it will just save hours if I copy and paste their content and give credit where credit is due. In NO WAY AM I PLAGERIZING SOMEONE'S WORK.

What are the rules regarding copyright? I'm thinking that I should just email them and ask persmission.

I'm pretty sure you need permission for republication.

100% :winkwink:

yeap

thats what "copyright" and "all rights reserved" mean... you don't have the hahahahaha to reproduce without express written permission.

are u writing up an essay and want to use someone else's content to prove your thesis or something. its allowed but u will need to provide a bibliography

or is it for a website

If you wrote a paper on Ernest Hemingway's, "The Old Man and The Sea." and you copied a paragraph(s) directly from the book, did you have to get Mr. Hemingway's written consent to do so? No, you simply gave him recognition in either a footer or in the bibliography. You didn't call Ernest Hemingway and say, "Hey, Big Hem, do you mind if I copy a couple paragraphs of your book to use in my report? - no, you just did it and gave him recognition.

So do copyright laws flex for students?

I'm thinking you should email them and ask permission, too...better yet, give money to those of us who hahahahaha words....there's a concept...paying for the writing you're going to steal.....

Bibliographies don't pay the mortgage.
