[itdiscuss] Copyright

[Thompson, Ken]

MTW strives to keep both the letter and the spirit of the law. If we find we have messed up we work to make it right. We prefer to ask permission rather than to ask forgiveness and find that most people are more than happy to give that permission.

Subject: [itdiscuss] Copyright

Just wanted to get some opinions, how are you guys handling copyright?

Would you consider your approach to be conservative (you are NOT doing things you'd like to do because of copyright), neutral (you dance in the grey areas) or liberal (you ask for forgiveness rather than ask for permission)?  I was looking specifically when it comes to what you distribute to the web or have on your servers.  What are your common practices?

I know it's not a topic that lots of people want to address, but I really am interested in the logic and processes you are using with regards to copyright.

Thanks,
Josh
