<<I trying not to take side either, it doesn't matter if I personally agree with the information or not, if permission is granted you post it, if it isn't you don't.
One SI terms of use siliconinvestor.com that gets violated all the time is the posting of press releases.
"Use Silicon Investor in any way that infringes or may infringe the intellectual property rights, copyrights or other rights of another. For example, you may not copy and paste a press release into a post on Silicon Investor."
I am surpised companies like Reuters don't take action.
Do a seach for Reuters and you will see a dozen new release copyright violations per day on SI. >>

Bob. As 95% of my posts are usually links and/or links and content from various sources, I take this post to be directed towards myself and a few others here who try and share a form of research material and knowledge with the rest of the thread. Seldom if ever have I seen such material posted without referance to the source as well as copyright notices and a hyperlink to the article. The few that I myself provide without such material are usually from news sources that have a rolling database of stories and the hyperlinks, after a day or so, bring you to a totally unrelated story. I've been brought to task here for that in the past, so I simply don't post those hyperlinks any more.
It is even rarer to come by articles that the poster falsely proclaims to be their own. However, as you have referred to these types of postings in the past as not being to your liking, I shall no longer post them. I personally find the relentless personal attacks and snide remarks of many posters to be far more annoying and offensive than the above. It is THE main reason why I made the decision, a long time ago, to post in the form that I do. I thought it would avoid the very thing that I'm confronted with now. There's just no pleasing everyone I guess. |
