Discussion:
What is the name of your state? NH
I have a message board on line and we often copy articles and post them along with the original url to the article. I thought this was legal, but I was just told that it isn't...that I supposedly also have to get the authors permission. Is that true????
This is exactly what they said:
You do realize it is illegal to copy entire articles from the internet even if you add the url at the bottom?. You can quote a peace of the article and a url referencing it, but not the entire article without permission from the author.

Answer:

Is it true that I can't post an entire article even though I include the url?
Answer:
Yes.
If you post the whole article, it is copyright infringement, even if you add the URL or otherwise give credit to the author.

Peace.
