Here is an article I found (altho anyone can find many others on the web, this is just offered as an example) about copying and copyright and important information for anyone who copies other people's work. My posts above were meant to be helpful information to all, although I have received criticism in private for trying to be helpful.

The penalties are extremely hefty if you copy someone's work beyond "fair use" and if you excerpt their work without giving them credit. I hope my caution and this general information will protect people.

So here is a general (although probably not definitive) information source for more information if anyone wants to make sure they don't get into trouble by posting someone else's information.
