Questions re: COPYRIGHTED Blogs / Articles / Clippings

hi, gusto ko sanang mag.create ng thread sa "love" section about a certain topic pero may nabasa akong copyright message sa bottom ng blog that says like this:

"©Copyright 2013, XXXX ™. All rights reserved. Copying of any article from this website without the permission from XXXX or the author is prohibited. DISCLAIMER: All articles are opinions of their respective authors and not necessarily of the site owner or XXXX."

XXXX = name of the blog site

will this be part of that prohibition stated in forum rule #6 ? if yes then bakit marami akong nababasa na thread sa politics & current events section doing as such?

thanks!

Unless it falls completely under Fair Use, best to ask permission. At the very least, there would be little bureaucracy with most bloggers.

Republic Act No. 8293 - Section 185

Section 185. Fair Use of a Copyrighted Work. - 185.1. The fair use of a copyrighted work for criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching including multiple copies for classroom use, scholarship, research, and similar purposes is not an infringement of copyright. Decompilation, which is understood here to be the reproduction of the code and translation of the forms of the computer program to achieve the inter-operability of an independently created computer program with other programs may also constitute fair use. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is fair use, the factors to be considered shall include:

(a) The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for non-profit educational purposes;

(b) The nature of the copyrighted work;

(c) The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

(d) The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

185.2. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not by itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.

thank you boss @vern!

i think forums fall under subsection a., right?
