ED - About new policy on posting complete articles

[cgardener]

Is that just for private requests, or can we go back and add the whole text in to other approved articles? Just wondering, because I have one article up for sale with sources, and I think that some people don't understand what the bracketed numbers are there for. Seeing the sources at the bottom might help sell it.

I'm fairly certain you can post the whole thing in ALL your articles, since they've installed the new anti-copy technology into the coding.

(Cgardener)You can place the entire article in the long summary, but (DSW) I wouldn't do it in the case of all articles. Use this freedom judiciously. While it is an obstacle for would-be content thieves, it may not stop the most dedicated ones.

Well, true :) Not everyone has the attention span of a flea on crack, like me!! Some people would actually have the patience to sit there and memorize a line, flip back to another screen, type it, and back and forth.....me, I'd get about 1/2 sentence done and then get distracted and move on to some thing else, like my Solitaire game :D

I'm still glad we have the option, free and clear, though!! That was kinda scary, for 2 seconds, to think about not being able to post the entirety.....

As someone pointed out on another thread, you can always view the page source and copy the entire article's HTML, then convert it to text.

Thieves will find a way to steal what they truly want.
