Is it Legal ??

Post by Bullard4075 »

Is there copyright issues if one posts pdf files of magazine articles.
I have some back issues of Handloader and Ken Waters articles that might be of interest
to members. For example I have Ken Water's "Pet Loads" for the 218 Bee, 25-20, 25 Rem, etc.
Having none of these calibures this information is extra to my needs. I hate to just throw them out.
I would be willing to scan and post (or email) if this is legal.

not necessarily. What you're thinking about is plagiarism, for quotes and such.

You can do it if you get permission in writing from the copyright holder.
