Online Copyright Infringement

The more I read about online content and copyright infringement, the more confused I'm getting. I read an article that explained a website that posted articles in full text was sued because the website was acting commercial in nature as it accepted donations and had numerous advertisements. Although this article was more clearly written and easier to follow.

Never went anywhere, the big thing here is your a forum and that material is used to start a topic etc 99.9 % of the time. Your not taking that work and saying packerhome made it.... same was true for me and thus the complaint in my case had no case.

As long as you link or source the post .. no one can touch you here. For more email since my PM is disabled here.

Why is your PM disabled here? It shouldn't be. (don't even know how to yet because since moving to the new software, haven't had to look, lol)

But hey, if it doesn't work, just shoot me a PM and I'll fix it for ya!! (hahhaa)

Providing the full text is sourced properly and a link back to its source, to my understanding, that was okay. And also since I've never accepted a donation or had an advertisement nor profited from this sites existence in any fashion, the content can not be accused of being commercialized. (whoa thats a word? i thought i just made it up).

Legally, I've felt with properly sourcing an linking the full text was allowed. I've had litigation threatened a few times and honestly I just don't have the time to mess with it. I'm just kind of bored waiting for a full site backup to complete and archive and started poking around. Hoping to find something that was clear cut black an white.

no idea .. just know it doesn't work 🤷 Anyway that whole copyright subject is overbearing. It would cost someone a fortune to litigate it.

And yes that's why I don't do donations or anything 🤐 . There is case law but nothing per say in a forum/message board setting.

I really understand your position on the matter... live it.

This platform gives me an outlet to utilize and display my creativity, or lack there of as it's been shown lately.

You should try sending a PM again because with the new platform, all the suspensions, bans, restrictions, etc ... have been removed.

I dont know much about copyright other than how it affects me as a songwriter. And this much I know. When you create an original song/artwork, you are by default protected by copyright laws. Some have taken the poor man's copyright approach and mail themselves a copy of their work and leave it unopened. I have heard positive and negative things about this approach. Really the only way to guarantee your creation being protected, is to file thru the US copyright offfice.

Zero2Cool (15h) : QB coach Sean Mannion

Zero2Cool (15h) : DL Coach DeMarcus Covington

dfosterf (18h) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (18h) : So eerily quiet here in Alexandria. I live in the flight path of commercial craft coming from the south and west, plus the military craft

dfosterf (18h) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (23h) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (23h) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : Chiefs Eagles...again...sigh

dfosterf (27-Jan) : Happy Birthday Dave!

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : happy birthday dhazer

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
