Regarding Some Article Copied By Me!

I think there is nothing bad on that if you write author's name in your article, because if you don't do it would be plagiarism. Have a good day

Well, just like what the other guys mentioned, why not just share your comments and thoughts on the articles you read, and mylotters could exchange theirs'. Then it would be much better than the simply copy and paste. :)

There is a difference between copying something as a quotation to illustrate something you want to discuss and simply posting something published elsewhere as it stands and with no attribution or other comment by you. If you don't give the source of the passage and don't make it clear that it's a quotation to illustrate a point, you are infringing copyright. In this case, the articles are the copyright or the property of the publisher who publishes the tests. Look at the from of the book - usually on the back of the title page - you should see a clear notice saying that nothing in the book should be reproduced without permission. In any case, even without that notice, unless it says specifically that material MAY be reproduced, you are infringing copyright. As far as MyLot is concerned, the Guidelines clearly say: "DON'T ... Post copyrighted articles." and that applies as much to material copied from books as to online material. In my experience, Admin does sometimes allow shortish passages to be reproduced as long as they are clearly illustrations of an original topic. Anything which is clearly copied from somewhere else without any original comment or attribution is plagiarism.

You can share other's article only if you have authority to do so and provided you mention their names . You may review or rewrite them as well if they are interesting and worthsharing . Wish you all the best :-)

Well, you might be on a very thin line with posting articles. If the articles are from copyrighted books, you might be violating one of the "Don'ts" in the discussion guidelines. They ask that we not post copyrighted articles, we should link to them. According to the "Do's" you can send a private message to the MyLot staff if you are not sure.

Why not rewrite it in your own words and explain your views about it and give credit on the original author. Sometimes a copy from an article just to make a post discussion here tend to be so boring for me. And assuming that you just copy it makes sure that you really knows it so that you can interact and response too. Happy myotting!
