Whenever I release something about copyright, I get a bunch of follow-up concerns. These are a few of the frequently asked concerns..

Its fairly easy to compose a script that scrapes all of the content from an RSS feed and imports it into a different website. Thats a little harder to stop so my option is to submit DMCA takedown notifications with Google to get them to eliminate the angering material from their results pages.
Filing DMCA takedown notices is time-consuming and even when submitted effectively some hosting companies still require even more evidence of initial work and ownership. Being able to say, “hey, thats my image of myself wearing my preferred flannel t-shirt” is a lot much easier and faster than writing a description of the creativity of my blog post.

I like to share the title or a little summary of your post with my staff, is that okay?
Yes, as long as youre not republishing the entire thing and or passing it off as your own. If you desire somebody to check out the entire article, provide the link to it..

Can I forward your newsletter to my coworkers?
Yes, of course. Strike the forward button in your inbox and share it as I composed it (over-use of hyphens and parentheses is among the trademarks of my post so dont be tempted to modify those out)..

The factor is that in my on-going fight against websites that republish my content without consent it is much simpler for me to prove evidence of ownership and originality when my face is in the cover image. Filing DMCA takedown notices is lengthy and even when submitted properly some hosting business still need even more evidence of initial work and ownership. Being able to say, “hey, thats my photo of myself using my preferred flannel t-shirt” is a lot simpler and faster than composing a description of the originality of my blog site post.

I embedded your YouTube video into my class/ school website, is that alright?.
Yes, thats completely fine as long as youre utilizing the embed or link offered by YouTube and not downloading the video then republishing it (check out YouTubes TOS for more information)..
