I just saw the following news on mingpao. This time I am not going to qoute the content of this article.
So reposting part of a news article is illegal? Even when we qoute the source of it?

i think they mean someone scanned or grabbed all content and photos from a magazine on the web. So, they turn one issue of a magazine into an electronic format.

They do not mean copy a newspaper or just a single magazine article to a forum.

but the end of the article said that straightly speaking, reposting any content of newspaper or magazine vailated the copyright.
But the chance of being sue by the copyright owner (publisher) is lower if the repost articles are for private and non profit uses.

still.....

Yes. I think there are statutory laws/copy rights and private restrictions. Whatever in which kind, once they clearly stated over there, any kind/format of reposting/republishing in any portion is a wrongful act and could be sued by the claimant. (which I think this issue had been brought out before, just seemed nobody cares.)
Remember, innocence doesn't mean non-guilty.

and since this news is from Hong Kong....and we all know that law in HK seems to protect big corporate and rich people like Hyde more......

Unlike Canadian laws, we protect criminals more.......haha...

So, you will be protected and safe since we have 'human rights'..

我估係因為個網民ＳＣＡＮ左一Ｄ要比錢subscribe先睇到的content所以比人拉。不過有時見到一Ｄ網上文章下面都有conpyright sentence就要小心

I usually do that.

I think if you only quote one or two sentences from the article then it's okay.

As long as you are commenting on the articles and link them back so the readers can read the rest there... then it shouldn't violate the copyright.

what they are concern about is the fact that people "copy & paste" entire articles and images to a new location. then the readers would actually be gaining information from this 'new' site instead of the original source.

Section 29 of Canada's Copyright Act. Fair dealing. It is ok

if the article is not free (such as paid member only site), one should not disclose the content. (I think...)
