Ok, hopefully as this is of important relevance it won't get deleted by administration or moderators who want to shy away from the subject.
I notice that articles from other websites have been totally copied and pasted and a source link added as a footnote.
I need to know what constitutes plagiarism and the legal implications to members and admin should such threads be reported to the original authors or websites.
We normally make comments in our own words when linking to something we find interesting rather than copy and paste the whole article and let members form their own opinion and respond with their own thoughts.
If I quote from an article I make it quite obvious by using quotation marks and italics. I don't find it acceptable to be posting as though I am the author. Everyone on here knows my grammar errors on occasions and knows that they are my own thought and words.
Please discuss as I for one would hate to breach the T&Cs of forum rules. Ultimately O2 are responsible and accountable for the content they allow on their community.

To continue with this topic. It is OK to copy and paste technical specifications of a mobile phone or any other device
There are no copyright laws to infringe. They are out in the public domain.
However if writing a review for instance...the words the writer uses must be their own......

Depends on what it is I think. If its some medical innovation I post about I do like to give a bit of background info. This isn't being patronising....I just think it adds to the interest for anyone who may want to read it.
However... this is a personal opinion and just reflects the way I like to post.....

@jonsie kudos to you
I agree what has been said above ^ ^ ^
I atm am unable to post a blue link, but when I do post I make it clear, if I'm quoting, by using quotation marks
eg in a recent few words spoken about PRINCE ... = ... the words I posted were mine, usually in my basic use of English mindst
Like @blissgirl I'm not here for the reward(s) of money ... I'm just here to learn ... & ... share a few funnies along the way
But, I have to say I get a bit of a feelgood factor when I'm included in the mix for a 'reward' but it's very like me belonging to a group thing personally ty

That's why I prefer to add to a bit of information for interest. The thing is ...this isn't about how we post as individuals... It's to do with the rules we follow in terms of copyright.....
