Don't feel too bad; it's something not a lot of people think about. Basically, by reposting it here, you were decreasing Aviation Week's revenue, and that revenue is what pays people like Craig Couvalt to write such wonderful articles.<br /><br />So, we all live and learn. For now, we only remove such things if someone representing the copyright holder actually requests removal, but I could see that changing to a more proactive stance. If nothing else it would help to educate people about the importance of copying. Fair use is one thing; this is not fair use. Most sites don't bother to enforce their copyrights, but that should not be construed to make it permissable. You never know which copyright holder will choose to enforce their copyright and maintain control over their intellectual property.<br /><br />BTW, it is considered fair use to quote an article. There is no legally defined distinction between quoting and plagiarism, but it's usually pretty much a common sense thing. Certainly reprinting it in its entirety is not covered by fair use. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em> -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
