Finally, to John Morris who asks about Bob Finnegans rating system, it was a simple four tier system of Exception, Above Average, Average and Below Average (the names are from memory since I would have to dig out his newsletter to be surebut I do not recall that he ever used the 100-point system, even at the end of his publishing careerand certainly not uin the 1970s when he started publishing).

Doomsday is huge business, so we are guaranteed to see much more of these dire predictions for 2012/5772. The reality of having an Infinite and entirely One G-d is that not only is 7 billion not a particularly challenging number of people to sustain, but 7 trillion or 7 trillion trillion aren’t really a challenge for Him, either. Any number under Infinity is still exceedingly small and as we look out and reach farther out into the Multiverse around us, we will realize all of our material needs are extremely small in comparison to what is waiting and available in the Great Frontiers of virgin material waiting for us to Elevate it in Divine Service.

Hi Brian, thanks for the link. It’s interesting reading and has really highlighted the differences between copyright and plagiarism.

Australia’s version of ‘fair use’ is ‘fair dealing’. It is a lot more defined than the USA laws and review and criticism are specifically mentioned. So one could in theory, in Australia, review an article with short extracts under ‘fair dealing’.

This pdf has info about ‘fair use’ myths looking at both USA and Australian examples.

Howard, thanks so much for commenting here publicly. I think the revised permissions statement is a great development. Instead of the word ‘blog’ you could say something like ‘including presentations/discussions on personal websites’. This would exclude sites out there that automatically troll for content.

Quick response from SEPM – While SEPM has not charged for republishing its content we have requested that people ask permission – this it to track the usage and watch for missuses rather than restrict its usage. We are currently drafting a new permissions statement which does include this statement

The Society acknowledges that individual figures, tables or paragraphs may be used in presentations both private and public without specific permission as long as appropriate attribution is given for the material and that the material does not represent more than 20% of any article or chapter’ which we can reword to include ‘blog’ although many would consider a blog a presentation..

Sincerely, Howard Harper, Executive Director.”
