What i need to publish articles at my site?
Hello!
Now starting new site, there is a section there to publish thematic articles. So, for example, i c an article on xbiz or any other site which is interesting to my visitors too. What I need to do? Can i just publish whole text with source link & author name? Or i need someting else? May be i need author permission? Thank you for your attention. |

You MUST site the source (publication/site) and the author in order to legally publish someone else's work on your site. I don't believe that you have to link to them, but I see that a lot.

Thanks for your reply.
But sometimes site has exclusive rights to publish some articles & I can`t know about that. Are you sure that its not necessary to contact author for permission? |

You can't cut and paste someone's article, even if you did include the author's name and a link to their site. That's still stealing. Under copyright laws, you may only copy a small amount of an article or written work (say a couple of paragraphs) as "fair use". And you still need to make sure you credit what you quote with the author's name.
If you want to use an entire article you HAVE to obtain permission and give credit. If someone went around copying my articles without asking I'd be getting my lawyers in. As for translation, I think copyright laws allow you to claim copyright for the translation but not the original article, and again, you need to attribute your source. Again, best to ask permission before you head down that path. Information on copyright is here http://www.copyright.org.au This is an Australian site but I think copyright laws are similar worldwide.

RE: "I think copyright laws allow you to claim copyright for the translation but not the original article" - If you translate an article it is still copyright the original author, so you MUST get their permission to publish it. However once you have done this, then they need your permission to use the translated version (unless they got you to give up that right as part of the condition of being allowed to publish, which most authors will do).

Also, keep in mind that both the publisher and the author have differing rights. You may find that many times the author him/herself cannot give you permission to reprint a written work because they have given the publisher exclusive publishing rights.

If you're wanting to republish articles from relatively "major" sources, you'll want to contact the "permissions department." (It's really called that! Isn't that straightforward and cool?) 'Kay, I just wanted to show off a smidge of my former knowlege, before I lose it all. |

No offence Apu, but when they were handing out religions you must have been out taking a whizz

Another common misunderstanding is that just because you see an article posted on two or more sites that it's FREE for use. A lot of times, if the author has full rights over an article, he/she will submit it to several sites for publishing. AND - sometimes a publishing company who has rights over an article will syndicate it out to specific partner sites and/or mirror sites within their own company. The REAL advice? NEVER assume... always ask permission and if you can, get it in writing. |
