[BeePk]

Hi,
i want to know about one thing, if we copy any article or news from any website and give its copy right notice at the end of the news/artilce

its legal or it will be count illegal work?

Tell you one thing, I am also a copywriter but m not a professional and sometimes I do write for e-commerce sites. What I suggest you is, it's not bad to copy, copying from Wikipedia and ask.com is not taken as illegal. You can copy articles from other websites too but be aware you don't copy all of them. You can use some of the writers catchy articles and then you can modify it in your own way. Modification is not counted as an illegal action. Copywritng is all about copying and remaking the articles to give new results.

All the best!!!

well thanks for reply Tom,

My question is about copyright notice, if we give this after copied text? then it will be legal or illegal

[Tom12]

oh great. I got it!
Well, you should write "taken or inspired from the particular site" at the bottom of the copied article.Please,mention the site name, it wouldn't be a copyright problem.

i dont mean to give link, i already read thats why i tell you to read, i come to result that its also illegal

[Tom12]

Oh. Great .So you read all the acts mentioned by DMCA. Tell you the truth, I amended some rules and some I don't. Who cares?
If you Copy in some extent, that's called inspiration not violation...

Make lot of research and try to give fresh articles. We would love to your articles.

All the best

actually i want to clear my concept about copying text from other website, the result that i got

If you copy from somewhere google will ban ur adsense and also complaint to hosting provider to stop service. its in DMCA policy

if you copy from somewhere and get written permission, it will be fine

but if you copy and give reference to that website then? nothing clear in DMCA policy doubtful

life time risk

Some sites, no matter how much you reference them and give credit and dot your i's and cross your t's, have made it illegal to use anything on their page. I would suggest not taking any type of content from anywhere. So to answer your first question, sometimes the letter of the law is a little vague, but if a site tells you you can use it go ahead. I would still spin the content though. And if a site says don't use it, then don't.
