It is most definately copyrighted material.

I like to read it as well but you can't post that directly.

As a former Mod on another high profile board that had the same issues, I understand.

Would summaries work instead, or is it the info itself we're not allowed to post?

Just paste the link. Its not that hard.

Why the attitude? I'm just asking a question, because I do paste the link with about 1/4 of the article which other sites I post on accept. No need to cop an attitude about it.

We've gone round and round on this subject before and there is no easy solution. Nidan is trying to keep me from being sued so he's careful.

1. Post the link
2. Summarizing or paraphrazing is good
3. Direct post only small amounts of the copyrighted material. How much is small? I don't know.

I ask because I was the one posting. I actually was posting about a 3rd of a mock draft and a third of kiper's big board. My question is regards to your 3rd point, which is "what is small?" I guess 1/3rd is too big as I wouldn't call it small. I don't know...just curious. Thanks skkorp.

What if we did this: When you 1st go to an "Insider" article, usually a few lines of it are viewable, until you sign in...then you are able to see the entire article. So, with that in mind, what if we just post the text that would be viewable to the general public, without a password? Then we can also include the link to the password protected article.

How's that?

That sounds perfect! Make it so, Nidan.
