I know what you are saying; it was a complete reproduction of material “published” for public use. Copyright is a complex area and a lot of material on the net is not covered by copyright law. I’d be very surprised if the material i posted was covered by copyright. It was general information for public use as far as i could tell. Perhaps i was a little lazy in writing that it was on the net so it should be OK.
I am aware of Jimmy’s understanding of copyright due to some issues he has had from time to time with the other strata forum that he deems the competition, funny they do not see it like that.
You are wrong (except for the point you made about this being a distraction). I base my views on having been a professional journalist for 35 years and on my recently acquired MA (Writing), a large component of which was a module on copyright.
More importantly, SMO, your snide comments have given you away. Under one of your other aliases (Billen Ben) , you were not only banned from this website but purloined material of mine which you posted in its entirety on the other forum that you frequent. Also, you have been using a series of proxy addresses to conceal your identity. Regardless of the value of your opinions, there’s a level of dishonesty and lack of respect for the other people on this forum that’s intolerable. Please go to the other forum and stay there. Bye-bye.
