In reply to: JaniceM 's message, "Sorry to contradict you, Judie, but Diana has given permission for my yahoo group to use any quote we'd like, as long as we do the copywrite ack, which we do. That would be the DianaGabaldon yahoo list....also Joanne C can use quotes on her Outlander yahoo again with correct credit. We've been using quotes for as many years as I can remember. I'll check with her again in October at Surrey, but I will be surprised if she says no." on 16:23:51 09/09/07 Sun

- I don't know, of course - but I'm guessing that there is a distinction being made between a "short" quote and a longer excerpt. I agree about a long excerpt - but to be sure............ who will determine the length? Maybe the practise should be stopped - but who will patrol all those forums and boards - even the new Lord John one starting in VOY. (NT) -- GwenM, 08:27:35 09/11/07 Tue
  - Excuse me - I meant the new lordjohngrey one JUST starting on Yahoo. (NT) -- GwenM, 08:30:20 09/11/07 Tue
    - Can't answer that question, Gwen. I only know what is allowed here at LOL. (NT) -- Judie, 08:37:23 09/11/07 Tue
"Fair Use" is where there is a gray area in using Quotes of published material. -- Kel, 11:52:02 09/18/07 Tue
