Confession

And you are confessing...why, exactly jingl?

[confused]

OK jj ...I'm confused too ...mind you after all this tech stuff today that is very easy! [wink]

I think plagiarising herself?

Is that illegal? [shock horror]

jeni is right.

And there could be copyright issues! [shock]

Is that right? Everyone copies stuff from everywhere, does that apply to all sites?

I suppose if it was someone else's post....

That's a bit different from copying information or a joke.

It depends how much is copied and whether it is for personal use and whether you ackowledge the source, etc., etc.

this one is just one of jj's jokes. [wink]

I think strictly speaking there is GN copyright on anything we post! let em fight it out i say.

jess is right let them fight it out

I suspect copyright bides with the author unless sold!

Yes, I'm sure you're right jeni. GN can't pass on our words of wisdom without our say so!

Oh yes they can, and have done! In the Guardian for a start. Anything we put on here is fair game!

Sorry Jeni - knew it was somewhere on the site:

Please note that Gransnet has non-exclusive copyright in all submissions, and reserves the right to edit and re-publish these in print form.

That's ok, I thought there was something at the back of my mind about lubricants!

I'll sue!

Oh, hang on....I will sue if they ever quote me without my permission!

Anagram As I seldom say anything worth quoting, I guess I'm okay... smarmy

Non-exclusive means we can use our own stuff elsewhere as well, I think. Which would make jingl's repeated post just fine.

I'm sure I'll be corrected if that's wrong.

Yes, surely if you have the same opinion on two different forums, you will post the same response on each!

Oh no!!! You don't understand.

They weren't my replies. They were some old geezer's comments from a blogspot. Or something.

See. It was bad!

Don't worry Jings, your secret is safe with us

Yes, that's truly bad jingl!

So why confess to it?

Naughty step for you THAT WAS plagiarism!

Well, Anagram, I can't really remember bread, coal and milk being delivered by horse and cart.
