Hi everybody. Just a quick post, don't want to spoil the fun, but i thought i must just write a bit of info on copyrights.

When you are posting news articles and photographs, please be aware of copyrights. Some papers do not allow copying of their articles without their express permission beforehand. If this permission is required, please make sure you have the go ahead before reproducing the article on these boards. My suggestion to avoid these problems is to post a html link to the news article in your text, this then redirects the reader to the article and as far as i am aware does not infringe any copyright rules. If the article is not available online, you may still be infringing copyright rules by posting the article here, so please avoid this by post you opinions and thoughts on the articles but not the actual articles themselves!

Also the same for photo's. Many of the photos found on the net are copyrighted, some are free for personal use (unfortunatley this does not include these boards! ) again, please be aware & respect these copyrights, seek permission from the relevant sources before posting on these boards.

Hope you all understand that i am not trying to be a killjoy, but that we need to respect the writers/photographers in question.
