Hi all,
This seems a good time to add to a discussion that came up perhaps a year ago with someone that had material "captured" from their website, which was then used elsewhere without permission or citation.
This has happened recently to me with a set of figures that I spent a good deal of time making up. One of the figures is properly copyrighted material, as it is in a publication. I have redressed the person that was using it, insisting that it be properly cited. But, for a number of the figures being used, they were part of material I used for teaching a course. They were accessed through a page claiming copyright, but did not contain copyright information in the (pdf) pages themselves, making the copyright questionable.
So just a reminder that when you are posting material onto the web, there is reason to worry about properly copyrighting, at least for material where you would want to be acknowledged.
Charlie
