Other peoples copy
-
I want to know what the rules and legality is for posting other peoples work ie. poems, quotes, stories, etc.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
This likely depends on the copyright / licensing of the content being posted. Some writers will give permission to use their work, most will not.
To my knowledge, WordPress.com does not tolerate theft of content.
You may quote a block or except from a text (unless a license states that no part may be copied) if you provide information on the original source — sort of like how you footnoted sources in school papers. In blogs, a link back or pingback is generally acceptable.
For images, stories, poems, or other creative works, ALWAYS ask the owner.
