Clive, as you once said to me, chill out............and please don't go away. Greg, the voice of reason. :D I am chilled. (The breathing into the paper bag is helping.) Just a little frustrated, maybe. You know how to get hold of me. My contact details haven't changed for 13 years. Must be about ti...

I have no wish to fan the flames, but as I recall there was nothing copyrighted in the "offending" post Ali, Ali Ali, please don't..... Arghhhhhhh! It's like being at the seaside with a group of 5 year olds, who cannot grasp that when the lolly falls on the beach it's going to get covered...

It was in response to your statement that copyright issues were "Black And White" It was not an argument, it was a link pointing out that such things are far from the binary situation you seem to present them as. Sure, fair use is the greyest area of all when it comes to copyright, but th...

Seriously, you don't want to talk about your position on copyright and then you post a link to fair use. Clue: the key thing here is previously published . Publishing a third-party email that has not been previously published by the author into the public domain is NOT fair use. EDIT: Nick, sorry if...

However what we are talking about here is a matter of degree. Two lines of text from an email hardly constitutes a hanging offence. Steve, with the greatest respect, this is the biggest mistake you can make. It isn't a matter of degree. It's black and white. You either did infringe copyright or you...

If you want to fight a cause go elsewhere, enroll at a anti paedophile centre and save kids or volunteer for the Samaritans or anything but here. I appreciate your advice, Phil. For the record I already volunteer at a centre for the mentally handicapped. My autistic son used to go there. Those kids...

Steve, I mean you no disrespect, but copyright is a serious subject not a joke.

Clive. I am not going to get involved in a discussion about my views on current copyright laws. Would you kindly humour me with one more question that doesn't involve you discussing your views on current copyright laws, just whether or not you would take any action and what it would be? Hypothetica...

Nick, Do you as the forum owner deem it acceptable to publish copyrighted material, regardless of the content, on this forum without seeking the author/copyright holders permission? I really am sorry if people do not understand my position. I'd suggest it becomes somewhat easier to understand at the...

I would encourage people who have something to say about this matter in private to say it here. At the very least it makes it clear to the owner/moderator that I am not the only person who feels this way. No pressure, and I'll understand if you would rather not enter the fray. The reality is to achi...

Explanation

Rather than answer the same questions I have been asked outside the forum, I'm going to try and explain my reasoning in the hope that I don't come across as a complete fruitcake. But before doing that, I'd like to make clear, any transaction in progress, or offer of help or parts or whatever, doesn'...
