Is there a limit to allowed length of excerpts? [View all]
Hi, I just posted a thread in which I copy/pasted an entire (short) article from a free newsletter I subscribe to into an 'excerptc box. It crossed my mind that re-posting an entire article might be wrong for copyright reasons, and I have noticed that a lot of posts have -snip- 's when re-posting articles, but I can't find any rules anywhere on stuff like that.
I appreciate any help with finding important rules like that on this website, I checked my account page but no luck so far. Thanks.
