So, is then in the rules now, officially, or will it be? That would circumvent the need for a sticky thread.

Hi loserOlimbs!

I think it might be better if he did sticky this at the top of CivDeb and Random and those are the two forums most articles are posted in!

P.S.-If I might ask....why did you choose your particular member name?

A brief summary, so as not to violate copyright!

Uses That Are Generally Fair Uses
Subject to some general limitations discussed later in this article, the following types of uses are usually deemed fair uses:

Criticism and comment -- for example, quoting or excerpting a work in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment.
News reporting -- for example, summarizing an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report.
Research and scholarship -- for example, quoting a short passage in a scholarly, scientific, or technical work for illustration or clarification of the author's observations.
Nonprofit educational uses -- for example, photocopying of limited portions of written works by teachers for classroom use.
Parody -- that is, a work that ridicules another, usually well-known, work by imitating it in a comic way.
In most other situations, copying is not legally a fair use. Without an author's permission, such a use violates the author's copyright.

Why did I choose my particualr name?
Well I always cycle between Blenderman, AthomSfere and Loser_Of_Limbs, where did the name come from?
From a Poem I wrote when I was in highschool, I thought it just had a nice ring to it.

or is that stickied?

This is a pretty serious issue and I think I will just post the bare minimum of someone else's writing's and only to make my point, making sure that a link is available. I remember a few sites were closed down due to people putting up entire lyrics of a song in their post's in a thread dedicated to lyrics, that's where copyright issues pop up too.

I sure would hate to see anyone here get in trouble over copyright infringement
