Dear Members Please Read

In light of recent events regarding copy right issues I need to ask that all members please refrain from posting any articles that belong to other authors that was not written by us or our staff. It appears that articles have been posted on the site by some of our members without the consent of the author OR without citing the source.

As you all know it is imperative that we always give credit to those whom have written articles and blogs relating to our topic. It is very difficult for us to research each and every post that is put on our forum as our membership is in the thousands now. We rely on the members to use their better judgment on our rules for posting material other than that which has been written by our organization/staff.

Until further notice i ask that you do not post articles that come from outside sources until we can get this matter resolved.

If you have an article you would like to post that was not written by us, please contact me and we will proceed with taking the necessary measures to ensure it is proper and safe to post.

Thank you

Betty

Hot links

I've posted links to articles, so I guess that isn't the same as posting someone else's article without giving credit to the author and original source. Not sure???

I had the same question as Susan Betty

If we hyperlink the site...it that permissible...it seems like you may be overloaded with a ton of stuff to post and perhaps in that respect, it might make your job easier if at minimal that much was clear... Not copying the article but the LINK...is that still considered infringment?

You must have the hyper link

You must have the hyper link to the site location (url link) and also cite the author at the beginning of the article. Then you may post the actual article content if you like. Once i get this matter resolved i will let everyone know when we can proceed with article posting again. Again I am so very sorry for this inconvenience. xoxo Betty only one way to go...Forward (tm?)

"War and Peace",a very special GLEE episode

Thanks for clarifying! The articles about Tolstoy tend to be quite long. Citing the author is easy. With some of the articles I've posted links to, I might as well post "War and Peace" in its entirety, with the William McKinley High Glee Club singing "(Russian) Empire State of Mind."
