A have a question - if Im going to copy content from some russian website, translate and put it on my own blog, do I have to contact to the owner of that site to do that? or I can just put a backlink?
You have a very strange question there indeed - many factors involved ! Are you going to improve the content? If you are blatantly admitting to copying (and merely perhaps improving or not as the case may be), links back would be a nice courtesy you might like to add as > Translated from and improved from "this Russian site" Perhaps you could agree with the owner an anchor text arangement so you could both benefit from suggested venture?!?! Just a thought or two. At the end of the day you both deserve some credit somewhere if merit is there imho.
I'm not really good in english. I'm just learning. I just thought that making a backlink to the original content would be enought (without making any agreements), but I dont see a point, cuz noone would be able to go to the source-site because of another language. I'm going to use just couple articles from many of russian sites (it would be to complicated to contact to each owner to get just a little bit of content) and build my own blog. That way i will get a unique content.
I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that translation is still a copyright violation—unless the site owner has specifically authorised his or her content to be redistributed under Creative Commons or similar. That's how it would apply in the US and Europe, anyway. Is it really so hard to create your own content?
Like I said, Im not really good writer. I'm just thinking why not? Why do I need to make my own content if there is a tons of "unique russian content" in web. And Im not breaking any copyright laws if Im making a backlinks. Am I right?
Unfortunately it's still breaking Russian copyright law: "Derivative works and collections or composite works are also eligible to copyright, regardless of whether or not the base works themselves are copyrighted. Among the examples of derivative works listed in the law are translations, abstracts, reviews, dramatizations, and arrangements." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_Russian_Federation The best solution may be to hire a writer and get them to create the content for you—perhaps using the Russian content as a base, but substantially changing it.
So in the basics - it is fair to say we all want some mention and links YES? Equality works across the board after all ! Well in most cases more or less.. hehe U really don't want to challenge me considering there is no more powerful being other than God/Allah/Jehovah etc on this planet considering if I don't die at ten seconds past ten past ten minutes on the 10th of Dec 2010 - so sorry - I weep till then in case I am wrong Laugh please do it's normal! Silly comments are (among others) here > Anyone one who thinks they can beat the 10 10 till we we do it again thing - bring it it on and good luck and if that silly Mayan thing regarding the 21st of Dec 2021 was the end - Think again it was merely about a change not the end peeps!!!! Try me!
U say I'm not really good in english. I'm just learning. so if u make content for your website so search in google your best related keywords and than open top 20 to 50 and analysis all website content. Just copy one one line for each website and than change in to your content but do not make same i just tell u about write content.
Understood. I dont want to have a problems with a law) How about rewriting? As far as I know it does not require a backlink and owner permittion. Copy russian article - rewrite - translate.
