[DeTomaso] Copyright law

[Joseph F. Byrd, Jr.]

You might be in the boat I got into once.  A customer paid be to write a maintenance guide.  Most of it was cut and paste from other customer's past reports.  The guide was published, copyrighted, marked proprietary and since I was not an employee, I could not afford to get a copy!

Gee, I guess that I own a copywrite to 265 POCA Newsletters 1996-2016, then! They were sent thru the Internet as pdfs to be printed....

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.
