Copyright : We have mentioned this subject many times before but in case the newer members are not familiar with the subject I will repeat it here.

With regard to members pictures on the forum, whether showing a copyright notice or not, you will have to get the owners permission to copy and display them anywhere other than on this forum. 

As regards information posted on here by members you MUST ask the provider of that information if you want to use it elsewhere. Obviously I'm not talking about things like links but things which are unique to the provider of the information or pictures. Obvious examples are wanting to use one of the many excellent photographs to use as a screen backdrop or to show a friend the kind of thing that can be done or maybe a clever new way of doing something that you would like to put on another forum.

This applies even more so to items brought on to the forum from outside sources. Photographs copied from the internet or magazines for example. You must either have the owners permission or use a link, and the same applies to texts.

We have a few new members so thought I would bump Roberts original post as a reminder to both new and existing members. 
If in doubt please ask Alan (Spurno) the forum owner to clarify BEFORE posting or just don't post it. I'm sure Alan will add his thoughts below to bring Robert's original post up to date if necessary

Many thanks

Matt

In addition to Bob and Matt's post above please think before you post or if you're unsure pm me  and if necessary I'll discuss it with the other mods because it's an area that none of us is 100% sure about. Also bear in mind that items may be removed if they infringe copyright.

Regards
