I'd like to remind ladies about JM's copyright rule.

Thanks for the reminder! I see it all the time and I think people just don't know the rule. No copying and pasting even if you provide the link.

OK so if we are showing someone something we can't copy and paste the link to that thing? I'm confused.

You can copy and paste a brief quote but not the entire article and you must always post a link. Just like when you write a research paper, you can quote small sections but you can't put someone's entire article into your work. As long as you post a link and don't copy and paste entire articles it should be okay.

Gotcha...I thought it was no copying or pasting anything except just the link. Makes more sense now!
