Copyright issues on material transmitted to AIR-L
Dear Colleagues, I have posted stories to the list from various publications. When I do, I am careful to include full publishing data, URL, and copyright notice. These stories are made available to the public by the publishers, often through emailer programs. Occasionally, I take them from a university-based email newsletter that carries stories from publishers. The time required to write for permission on stories of possible interest here would make it difficult to pass good material on. I don't bother with URL clips and first-paragraph only broadcasts. I find them annoying to read, and I don't want to plague other with material I don't like myself. I'd welcome the view of other subscribers on this issue. If it seems inappropriate to transmit material with full identification and copyright notice, I'll be happy to stop.

It was not only you Ken, there were others for instance why your method is against the law, if you were to post a washington post article, you would be breaking their copyright because they state: YOU MAY NOT COPY, REPRODUCE, DISTRIBUTE, PUBLISH, DISPLAY, PERFORM, MODIFY, CREATE DERIVATIVE WORKS, TRANSMIT, OR IN ANY WAY EXPLOIT ANY PART OF THIS SERVICE, EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY DOWNLOAD MATERIAL FROM THIS SERVICE FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL, NONCOMMERCIAL USE AS FOLLOWS: YOU MAY MAKE ONE MACHINE READABLE COPY AND/OR ONE PRINT COPY THAT IS LIMITED TO OCCASIONAL ARTICLES OF PERSONAL INTEREST ONLY. and the NYT has this: All rights reserved.

You may not alter or remove any trademark, copyright or other notice from copies of the content. So it is my interpretation, that one is not allowed to distribute via e-mail lists from these sources. However, one can distribute within fair use guidelines, which is distributing the first paragraph a link to the rest. It should be noted that the server that this list sits on, and probably the one it used to sit on are governed by the respective universities use guidelines which have this stipulation or something similar: For use(of computers and networks) to be acceptable, it must demonstrate respect of: the rights of others to privacy; intellectual property rights (e.g., as reflected in licenses and copyrights); ownership of data; system mechanisms designed to limit access; and individuals' rights to be free of intimidation, harassment, and unwarranted annoyance. so more or less we should think about staying within those guidelines whenever possible:) I appreciate your understanding on this issue.

I must admit, I do not know the legal issues here, but on a different list which often forwards copyrighted articles, I often see a disclaimer: (In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107, this material is distributed without profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving the included information for research and educational purposes.) Can anyone explain Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107 as it pertains here? My understanding of the disclaimer is that such forwarding of copyrighted material would be permissable.
