Did you know that copying a magazine article if you copy it several times and use it as a handout is violating copyright? I did not know that! I realized this this weekend after being in a class where I was handed a nice put together compilation of articles from of a variety of magazines. I started to think about it. I guess, it may be fine if you get permission, but if you do not get permission it violates fair use of the document. <p> You are allowed to make one copy usually for your own use, but otherwise it is wrong. <p> So, if it was you, would you talk to the person, even though you did not know them about it? Or would you store it away for knowledge for a rainy day?
