Copyright Issue

When I contribute to this forum I don't expect my words to provide OTHER publishers with copy to sell.

Will you sue, John, or shall I???

Complete Which Kit Car? (Delete to form current name)

I got it at Detling and I think it's cheeky in the extreme. Obviously if YOU chose to allow them to quote it then fair dos, it's your Forum and I'm grateful that you allow me and all these other KitCar Saddos to use it. But if they didn't ask you..... well.....

Hi Ferg,

No they didn't ask.

From a selfish point of view I like to see Madabout's name in print and the more exposure the merrier, but it would have been the right thing to ask your permission as they are directly quoting you.

If they had approached me I would have forwarded it onto you for authorisation.

In what context are the quotes being used? is it a new feature of the mag, ie kitcar chat monthly roundup or something?

I realise what is said on a public forum is for anyone to read, but I'm pretty sure it's copyright belongs to the forum.

It would be polite to ask.

I know that some magazine forums then use extracts in the magazine itself. I can see no issue with that.

The bonus I see here (sorry Ferg) is that Madabout gets noticed by Complete Kit Car readers and therefore gets more traffic etc.

Anyway Ferg, at least they thought your words worthy of print!

I am not taking either side on this issue

Have to agree with Ferg, I'd not like to be quoted with my name associated to the quote unless I knew about it first.... its hard enough to get the context right as it is.

Not withstanding I think its a great idea to use the quotes in the mag though, I've been impressed with the new CKC mag as I have even started buying the kit mags.

I understand what has been said about the original copyright issue above,
however, what it did do is bring your site to my attention (for better or worse). I did not know either you guys or the locost websites existed, (I never thought to look) Dumb I know but I am fairly new to this computer type stuff. So I've been nattering to my fellow builders on the AOC website without giving it a thought. Anyway I am here now! keithice
