Re: Andre Brock's question "Does AoIR have a specific statement on fair use of Internet/ICT materials for research in the field?" The International Communication Association (ICA) released a "Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Scholarly Research in Communication" in June 2010. The document was created by Pat Aufderheide, Peter Jaszi, and others (including a cadre of AoIR members). While U.S. centric and not specifically focused on websites, it may be useful in other contexts. http://www.centerforsocialmedia.org/fair-use/related-materials/codes/code-be...

The legal advice was particularly helpful, and i'm going to follow Ulf-Dietrich's advice and contact the websites - i have contacts at a couple of them. Does AoIR have a specific statement on fair use of Internet/ICT materials for research in the field? I know we have an extensive set of materials on Ethics... (and no, i'm not volunteering to write it. i'm just asking) Andr?
