Friend issued legal takedown 4 posting full article in forum

[Tianmo]

If I read correctly, someone must have posted some negative comments on some forums about a certain company. And TS friend circulated that negative comment.

 

The said company may have taken legal action against the original post. The original poster may have back track and not challenge the action, and thus remove the post, resulting in anyone who duplicated the original post to have to redraw the post as well or face the same legal action from the said company.

 

Quite common when a company defence it's reputation against some very nasty unreal or unrealistic comments.

 

I don't think it has anything to do with sharing of news of links online. If it is public news, it is meant to be read and share.

 

Always state is tiagong, not I gong, to be safe.

Guess its considered theft of original work if you simply reproduce things in full? Beats me.

If someone wrote some material and you copy and paste word for word as yours, and he can prove it, it's thief. Happened to a friend before with some teaching materials.

 

If you quote it, I think is different. Sharing someone else work and sharing that same work as yours is same same but no same same.

Usually post newspaper article on the forum with source link, people will know is non profit and for discussion. Not masquerading as someone's else work nor taking credit.

I suspect that TS is referring to such articles from ST, or other news sources where the content is only available to paid subscribers..

Of course, ST allows 15 such articles a month free, but that means that we can post a link or part of the article or something like that.

Or someone scans a pic of a magazine article, say from Torque and posts it here.. 

 

For ST, I think you use incognito mode and you won't get the 15 article limit already.

Prof, u need to share some context.

 

The way u put it, "got say like never say"

[Watwheels]

I think he nothing better to do to occupy his afternoon. Kinda sad.

 

It's also sad that ppl treat "friend" with so much disrespect. LoL...

And "friend" doesn't hold back when it comes to taking legal action.

what is all this about?

 

If this is a case from the news, can post the link to the news?

Instead of guessing, why not the thread starter shed some light?

i am wondering what about those news articles on Straits Times, Yahoo or CNN website?

 

is it liable for being sued if we copy and paste the full article?  and whether we wont have an issue if we just give credit like "Straits Times:", "Yahoo:" , "Channel News Asia:"

ok la........i mean based on this principle, then those available on their websites for free, shouldn't land us into trouble if we copy and paste.

Normally you need the permission of the author, to reproduce ANYTHING. Even a photo, but with social media and forums it becomes a bit harder to track where they are linked. Usually, quoting a part of the content and linking to the original content is "acceptable", I imagine they also want generate traffic to their content through social media. But copying a full article means there's no need for the readers to go to their website to read the full content. And there's a lot of such illegally shared content everywhere, on Youtube, FB, forums, Whatsapp, etc.

makes sense..  so next time better to post links to their website rather than paste the full contents on forum.

If you share to say ST reports today on...... nothing wrong mah. unless they want to dispute what they publish. but honestly, in today's internet, no need to cut and paste everything, provide a link can liao.
