There are translations of articles from Times, Guardian, Der Standard and many other sources on my site. Am I violating copyright, if i give links to original?
I would say yes. Me translating Harry Potter into japanese and marketing it would result in a hefty lawsuit payment I think. I can't see why it would be different for anything else.
Depends on the country you live in. In the US, you would be violating copyright laws by doing that. If you are not a US Citizen, but your data is stored on a server located in the US, then you are still liable for US Copyright Laws.
True, I keep forgetting there are many international people on this forum. If you are in sweden then you're in the clear ! Hello pirate bay.
I'm from country with 0 copyright cases Azerbaijan. And hosting it in Russia. Then why i care about it? Cause this work is funded by USAID and Norwegians, and i don't want to do violations
There is a high chance if you contact the content owner (so long as they are not some huge corporation) they will allow you to translate their work so it can reach the biggest audience possible. What exactly are you trying to translate. Who owns the original content? Oh, and when you receive such permission, I advise you print out the email or however they give it to you, and keep it for your records.
Even if you live in another country and have copy a book published in another country. Isn't there a chance that the owner might pursue you cause you have copy the book. I think that copyright is applicable around the world.
Not all but the country that is a member of wipo convention, atleast. check the link http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/ShowResults.jsp?lang=en&treaty_id=1 Note that the translation itself is copyrighted to you not the content owner, but the use of translation usually violates how the writer collected info and put it into an article. Is the translation yours? or You just collecting it? My suggestion is including link to the original article and to the website should be ok. And with term state clearly that it is translation, and not the original should be a good thing to do (Violate at some level?--Yes, Sue you? -- less likely)
translations are made by my translators, and me as the owner have it. And i already made exactly that you said including link to the original article and to the website should be ok. And with term state clearly that it is translation, and not the original should be a good thing to do Code (markup):
If all you are doing is translating then you are copying the underlying work. At the very least you are creating a derivative work and you do not have the right to do that. At the worst, you are merely copying the entire work. I would not recommend doing this without permission. -Gene
