Hi. We've noticed a lot of discussions lately where the member posts complete articles copied from a news source or a book or magazine. Due to copyright infringement, entire articles cannot be posted. A portion can be..or a link to the article is acceptable.

***

A quote from Ron:
“Quoting a source is not the same thing as copying a source. The former falls under the Fair Use Doctrine, while the latter is stealing. You can quote a portion of a copyrighted work, with the amount being determined by courts on a case by case basis. “

***

Please be careful when bringing something to the forums to discuss. If you have any question about how much of an article you can post, please contact a Moderator.

Thank you.

Yes passing shadows and it's a hard job to get it all taken care of...each post has to be evaluated separately for content.

I close my eyes and there in the shadows I see your light
You come to me out of my dreams
Across the night
