Good! it might save a certain person copy and pasting things and then adding a sentence on the end to try and look intellectual.

People constantly need reminders. Think even the youngsters have senior moments! Life is a witch (you get the point), and then you die!

I can see the point of issuing a warning about copyrighted material on a site such as this...... but the question comes to me.. Has anyone posting on here ever actually been sued for copyright infringement..?

Moot point, perhaps, but I kinda figure we're all pretty much grown ups and understand the implications of what we post.

It also begs the question.... what EXACTLY is it that we're likely to post on here, that would have hordes of lawyers battering down our doors to issue writs...?

If I respond to a post, It's possible I may quote from a published work... but hey, that's ok because I can do so quite legally in Britain under the "Fair Dealing" law, which allows me to copy up to 5% of anything (book, article, leaflet.... whatever). I did this quite a lot when I was at university. I haven't been sued yet.

Perhaps nobody's looking.
