Hi all

I've seen a lot of poems with the authors name at the bottom here on DG recently. Is that OK what with the copyright laws, if so there are a couple I'd like to share but I don't want anyone getting into trouble!

TIA

Baa

Baa, are these poems written by DG'ers, or poetry that has been excerpted from another source (like the quotes and stuff in the daily newsletter)?

As far as I can tell (and I'm not copyright expert!) as long as you give credit to the source, you're probably not going to be in any trouble. There are a few authors who get snitty about their work being cited, but the incidents I've seen are typically when someone creates a website exclusively dealing with the work of one author - it appears to be a quasi-"official" site, and that gets them into trouble with the author - or, more likely, with the author's heirs/estate :0)
