Members philthygeezer Posted September 22, 2009 Members Share Posted September 22, 2009 By Robert Barney Taken from the September issue of Canadian MoneySaver Slimy buggers try to get out of paying regardless of whether it's morally justifiable. The Canadian Gov't needs to close the loophole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Kindness Posted September 22, 2009 Moderators Share Posted September 22, 2009 This is illogical without a link. That's my fault. I'm sure the OP will find a link and provide it with a more appropriately sized quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members collinwho Posted September 22, 2009 Members Share Posted September 22, 2009 It's amazing on a forum of creative people how little original content is generated. In a similar manner, I always find it amazing how little regard many lawyers have for intellectual property laws in their marketing at my day job.

Members King Kashue Posted September 22, 2009 Members Share Posted September 22, 2009 a more appropriately sized quote. Damn third factor, always getting in the way!!! :mad: On a more serious note, how likely to hold up is the HC TOS's claims to (edit) use of forum writings? E.g., a poster collects their own various posts into a more edited and codified form and publishes it in some other format; what are the issues? And if the poster publishes them, could HC (unlikely as it may be) "undercut" the published work using the content? And does the right to the content survive deletion (i.e., does deletion represent "un-" posting)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely take a look at it. Obviously, I can't make suggestions, due to my non-compete, but I can certainly take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members philthygeezer Posted September 22, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 22, 2009 I can't provide a link as it was taken from a service I pay for. Usually the articles are on the public version of globeInvestor but this time I searched for a link and couldn't find it. I gave up looking and just provided a reference, thinking I'd find it later. The Canadian Moneysaver is a publication available for a fee to the public and one can easily check the reference. The same scenario happens when quoting Journal articles, so I didn't see a difference. The article itself asks readers to reproduce it in full and send it off to the nearest provincial government office. It was intended to be reproduced. I quoted about a third of it in order to get the author's point across without messing with what he had to say. I thought five or six paragraphs was just fine and dandy as the quote was referenced. Many other quotes are similar length. (EDIT: I looked for a length limitation on the FAQ but didn't see anything - can you provide the legal length under copyright law? EDIT 2: Nevermind, I just spent 30 minutes reading about fair use on wikipedia. It's not length, it's substantiality that matters.) If an online link is required for a quote, then I can't provide it and I won't be able to provide a smaller quote. However, is a link required given the constraints of say quoting journal articles? Isn't a reference sufficient? If the answer is 'no' then just let the thread die or better yet, delete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members philthygeezer Posted September 22, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 22, 2009 I'll look tomorrow and talk to you about it then. Unofficially, that is. I'd also be interested in this, since I've written a fair amount of stuff on this forum. Can you cc: me on what you find? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members philthygeezer Posted September 22, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 22, 2009 It's amazing on a forum of creative people how little original content is generated. I pass on interesting things that I've read, and link to them when I can. I'm not an expert on Canadian insurance laws so I'd rather let the 'past president of one of the two life insurance agent associations in Canada' do the talking. It's not like I'm doing any different than the multitude of threads that pop up here every day, and I thought this was important information for Canadians who purchase life insurance.
