A word about copying
99.99% of the time I am happy to let anyone copy anything that I write on internet boards and blogs if they ask me first and give proper acknowledgement
I don't get paid for what I write here or anywhere else on the internet so therefore I own the copyright to all of it. No one has commissioned anything that I write, therefore no one else has a say in what I allow to be used elsewhere
Hyperlinks fine, RSS fine, copying out of context not fine, copying other's work to use it in a distorted and derogatory way is against the UK copyright acts and Bern Convention copyright legislation
No one else can give you my consent to copy what I write, only me

Cause and effect
I know for us, as a website, we copy articles from news agencies that don't always respond to our requests to copy their material. We pick and choose pieces that reflect what we want to promote - a parent's, a child's, or a victims perspective - so people can be properly educated in the importance of proper child placement. I see that as a good thing, and reflecting well on any author we publish on our pages.
Copying is a form of flattery, or a means of battery... so one has to question why a name is being singled-out on any given occasion.
Should have been clearer
