    I received this notice, which appears to be automatically generated. I am not sure if someone filed a complaint, but not knowing what’s goiung on is very frustrating. It’s a very poor system.

    “Warning: We have a concern about some of the content on your blog. Please click here to contact us as soon as possible to resolve the issue and re-enable posting.”

    I have contacted support, following the directions, but have received no answers.

    Someone at WordPress should read about Fair Use Doctrine, http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use, and http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/copyright/copyrightarticle/whatfairuse.cfm.

    “Section 107 [of copyright law] contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair:

    The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes
    The nature of the copyrighted work
    The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
    The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work”

    Posting in the forum isn’t going to help you. You need to contact staff directly via the link on your dashboard to clear this up. None of the volunteers in the forum can do anything about it whatsoever.

    If you contacted us through the “click here to contact us” link in the notice, our ToS department definitely received your request, and they’ll be getting back to you ASAP.

    We just have a concern that we’d like to discuss with you, and we do make mistakes sometimes.

    As a policy, please refrain from discussing ToS issues on the public forums.

    Thank you for your patience!
