Hi Janet and everyone Nando.net replied: >While, technically, it is a violation of the law for you to do any more >than view the articles on Nando.net, it is unlikely that simply making >a print-out of an article, would end up in prosecution. I thought the response from Nando.net was very appropriate and apt. it should reassure most people that limited, personal use is OK. Certainly, those that are concerned about protecting their copyright are most concerned about large-scale (undefined, however) infringement. "Wholesale" does not necessarily mean for profit by the person copying, but the loss of potential profit by the original publisher. Personally, I have taken the position that anything *I* put on the web or net is freely available to anyone who wants to use it -- short of their making a profit from it, of course. Common courtesy and decency should take care of the question of source acknowledgement. From what I have seen all of you who dig up all of the valuable information about Parkinson's have been fair and careful in attributing your source. Citations in a list like Parkinsn, this is just good PR and advertising for Reuters, Medline, Nando.net, etc. So, continue the great work of dissemination! TTFN and best to all, Peter ************************************************************************** Peter Kidd Learning Materials Consulting Services 62 Coronation Avenue, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3N 2M6 Canada Tel/FAX: (902) 443-4262 Email: [log in to unmask] URL: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~aa163/peterkidd.html
