Fair Use policy when making a quote

[Grenadier]

Ladies and Gentlemen...

This is just a gentle reminder, that when you wish to quote something from another source, that you are expected to abide by our "Fair Use" policy, in accordance to our Rules and Policies, specifically Section 7.3:

7.3 Fair Use Provision

Under Fair Use provisions you can legally post a small abstract of an article - or perhaps the opening paragraph. So if you want to post an article you should do this and include a link, or just post the link. The exception to this rule is press releases; press releases are meant for distribution and can be copied and distributed as much as you want. If you are not sure if you can copy something then always err on the side of caution and simply post a link to the material.

Please do not quote large chunks of the article, or the article in its entirety, unless you are permitted to do so.

Hey, everybody. Let's watch this issue, OK? We're seeing some posts that really push the idea of Fair Use right to the line, and probably over it.

Remember, lawyers cost money....mine...and I'd rather spend it on my new puppy.

Thanks
