Can I forward your newsletter to my coworkers?
Yes, naturally. Hit the forward button in your inbox and share it as I wrote it (over-use of hyphens and parentheses is among the trademarks of my post so dont be lured to edit those out)..

I like to share the title or a little summary of your blog post with my staff, is that all right?
Yes, as long as youre not republishing the entire thing and or passing it off as your own. If you want someone to read the entire blog site post, offer them the link to it..

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

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

Its fairly simple to write a script that scrapes all of the content from an RSS feed and imports it into a different website. Thats a little more difficult to stop so my option is to file DMCA takedown notifications with Google to get them to remove the offending content from their results pages.
