friends- theres a problem(updated pg 4) - Page 4

[Quote=s.priya]Actually, any book, which is not in an ebook format, as released by the author is violating the copyright.

If we must publish the contents of the book, we would need approval of the author, which we dont have. If the member posts it, then if the author takes notice and see htat we permit plagirism, they can sue us, which we dont want to take the risk.

On the net, u find EBOOKS, where someone has uploaded it and we merely discuss it. This is the first translation by someone on IF and if he does not have permission to do so, we can get into trouble.

thts not true. plagirism is only comitted if the person copies a text/idea from another author WITHOUT giving credit. if lakshmin quotes the lines from Prithviraj Raso, and refers to the authoer in some way {i.e. by writing- Written by [AUTHOR NAME]), the copyright of the text is not being violated.

However since the text needs to be translated, she can paraphrase them and if she gives reference to the author at the end, its completely legal. trust me.

Yea........as I said b4 as well.......the posts on this site will only be seen as "summaries" of a book, chapter by chapter. We used to do this in school as well. I did summaries of many books throughout my school years, and I still do in some of my english classes.......if assigned

If we can do it in school, why can't we use those skills to create a summary for ourselves???

for schools the matter would be for education purpose so that's not totally wrong but this is different, to do it for yourself is different and to post it online is different
