    Hi all,

    I would like to know if its legal to copy/paste informational material from a site as long as theres a reference link posted below the article to the originated site.

    I was told that this was legal by someone as long as that reference link is posted to the orignators website where the info was taken from.

    Can someone pls confirm this?

    Thanks

    Nope, just posting a link doesn't make it legal.

    Take a look at the "sticky" thread in this forum about Copyright.
