RE: Copyright of scientific research articles on Steemit
Hey lemouth,
according to the guidelines I found regarding fair use, re-telling the paper, even the grand storyline, and blogging (making it accessible to tthe public) are often regarde as Copyright violation, if there is a claim. If I understood everything correctly, that is. And when commercial use is thrown in the mix, it gets worse. I can send you links in the SteemSTEM channel if you would like. I was really hoping someone with a background in law would chip in, to elaborate. I am a bit of a 120% guy, so until I am dead sure, I will not be posting anything, sadly. :( Except completely original content. Thank you for responding!
If all the text is mine, with the proper citation, then I think it is fine. I don;'t see how I could violate any copyright when telling about some knowledge IO have acquired. Of course, there are sources, but this holds for everything.
Ultimately, I think you are right. After some thinking on the topic and after digesting the first scare, I think sharing knowledge should be fine. If I write an article and provide sources the original source stays "protected", as people without subscription cannot read them, anyway (if paywalled). As long as I do not share contents of the original paper in any sense, it should be ok. Thank you for bearing with me, some thoughts are better understood when discussed!
Discussions are always welcome! I am glad to have been able to contribute!
