15. Guidelines regarding copyrighted materials.

When posting excerpts from published articles and/or books, you are asked to add the following informations

- in case the source is a periodical: the title of the article, the author(s), the name of the publication, the issue number/date.
- in case the source is a book: the title, the author(s), the publishing house and the year.

When posting images

- from other websites: add the address (URL) of the site which hosts the image.
- scans from books/periodicals: follow the same rules as in the case of text excerpts.
- photographs from private collections: the conditions of the owner must be fulfilled.

We regard posting several images from a book, cd, website etc., while giving proper credit to the source as acceptable use, but posting large amounts of images from books, websites etc. without first recieving permission from the author or publisher is not acceptable and could lead to banning.
