Re: Here's the plan

All

I believe like everone else says ... that information is for sharing BUT
what I am against is using freely given information and then charging for it
! to some unsuspecting individuals....

Any info I have on my site which I don't want "nicked" is encrypted using
Taglock pro software at http://www.tagslock.com/

It doesn't stop anyone "reading" it but doesn't allow stealing it !

regards

Bill

PS - No interests or connections to this software at ALL

I am reasonably sure that in most countries data is not
copywrightable,
only the method of presentation is.

In any case the must more serious problem with this sort of data
is its
veracity: what information is given about the reproducible
sources of
the data? The average website has no such information, so is
worthless.

I beg to differ. The presentation on the web is the coyrightable
component. Scraping web sites and not producing it from your own
sources is a violation and often times the reason that many
researchers stop providing information.

For one thing the OP wasn't about scraping websites, it was about
uploading of original transcripts.

And for another, anyone who wants to publish but not have what he
published used by others needs to ask himself why he published in
the
first place. For goodness' sake - SHARE information, don't hoard
it!!!!

People need to be educated about sourcing when they use shared data.
A
source is where a person got the data, not where someone else got
the
data (except as a secondary source).

Too many times we find that data we researched over a long period of
time is scavenged by others who show themselves as the source.

So what?

I have published my research together with sources. I´m doing it for
my own pleasure and don´t mind if other researchers are copying the
information. Please observe that I said "the information" not MY
information.
As Ian said: "For goodness' sake - SHARE information, don't hoard
it!!!!"
