In film up until the '70s unless you had a formal copyright and date you can republish without consulting the author. Written text is treated differently but I can't remember exactly how. I do know that as a guide, copyright lasts as long as the first appearance of Micky Mouse, primarily due to legal and legislative guidance from Walt Disney, Michael Eisner and others. The nice thing though is Buster Keaton movies are free to rebroadcast as much as you like :) Plagiarism is still bad form though so you should always cite your source if you can. But you can still republish items from the list or if you want to play it safe, use the Wayback machine and just submit the link. Then the disgruntled party will have to sue Archive.org and not you. https://archive.org/about/faqs.php sean On Tue, May 24, 2016 at 7:10 AM, JEFFREY COBB <jeffcobb1@me.com> wrote:
An Internet post is world wide public and the writer knew that when he posted. Did he issue and show a copy-write logo or statement? Of course he did not, he is just pissed and using this as a ploy to scare or force you to his way of thinking. To be sure, have him to produce his copy write papers that were filed in the state he lives!
He lost all rights when he pressed the send button unless he specified what he sent as copywritened and even that would be questionable.

Thanks Ken. The issue is a disgruntled former poster of the email list has sent me a request to purge every post he has made to the list. He is claiming he owns the copyright to anything he has written. Is he correct?
Thanks,
Kurt

Generally, you are not free to use a copyrighted work in its entirely, or substantial portions, but under the fair use, you can copy short sections of it if you are commenting on them, not reproducing the work as a whole. If it's something simple like a photo or painting, you cannot reproduce it in its original entirely, but I think there was a case where the court found that a low resolution thumb nail version of as copyrighted painting did not infringe because it would never be blown up and used as art.
