WASHINGTON — A senior United Nations official is expected to call on the United States next week to stop Central Intelligence Agency drone strikes against people suspected of belonging to Al Qaeda, complicating the Obama administration’s growing reliance on that tactic in Pakistan.

Warnings serve as a reminder to you of the forum's rules, which you are expected to understand and follow.

All the best,

I need to summarize it in one sentence? Please enlighten me Mr. Hood.

Rules are fairly clear in regards to this: comply with all copyright laws by only posting the title of the article, a link back to the source, and a small blurb telling what the article is about so users know what they're clicking on.

A small blurb is something you've written yourself, summarize the article in a sentence or two without copying their information.

Also, if you want a private conversation with hood, your best bet is to send him a PM rather than bring it out via open forums.

Even forums must follow certain rules . This one is on copy right and using copy righted materials. Pretty much what Fade said.


Jelle normally PM would be the best way to handle a problem like this. But!! this is pretty new to all of us. So I am making this a temporary sticky, to help other members remember about rules on using copy righted materials. This is something that is beyond anyone in this forum control. It effects all forums. Probably a mater of time before all forums are doing this.

Sample:

[ link to site ............. mycopyrightarticle.com]

MP.NET has to deal with copy righted material in a certain way

(I would add) For the rest of the article click on the link.




To the other mods, If I goofed up, please correct me.

This thread is stickied in the general section, you should probably have a read around of the stickies, I know we have a fair few of them, but mostly they are stickied for a reason.

Every now and then articles pop up around the internet (as was brought to my attention via PM) which suggest that it's important to make sure all users are aware of the rules here, and so that nobody gets into needless trouble over something they posted. Staying compliant usually just means being a good internet citizen and giving credit where it's due, and giving originating content sites the traffic they deserve in the manner which they intended. Please read the following rules concerning copyright on this forum, which are part of the larger "usage agreement/contact us" page.
