I agree - copyrighted material shouldn't be reproduced and passed off as original work; original material that is cited should be attributed and referenced in line with the fair use provisions of copyright law.

It would be useful when copyright material is found and deleted to identify the original location that material was taken from to enable cross checking and handling repeat offenders. Thanks -- bob


 * Agreed. The difficulty in some cases will be out of print publications that were never submitted to the Library of Congress, a category which includes many political publications, and especially student publications. The series in question here, besides the few copies in possession of the original authors, might be found in the Wilcox collection or in other specialized libraries. If the original authors never notice(d), or if they agree(d) to share their work, it probably would not be a problem. Otherwise, beware of material that is lifted from other on-line sources, including the SourceWatch "morgue" of deleted articles. Best to you - JPG
