Someone please explain to me why lifting a magazine article from a subscription only site is not both a copyright and DCMA violation.

Why does StartUpNation tolerate this kind of stuff? It only seems easier to build content and community by tolerating theft of other people`s work.

Thanks all...

Actually that is incorrect. If you read their `Terms and Conditions` you`ll see that they state

Cutting and pasting other people`s stuff here with a cloud of spammy keywords leading to a "buy from me" link at the bottom really gives this place a bottom of the pile vibe. Copyright aside, I`m surprised the moderators tolerate it. I`m new here, and stuff like this certainly has affected my opinion on whether this is a place where I would want to participate long term.

Cool your jets big boss. Most people on here are advertising for something (regardless of how subtly they do it) -  Whether it be funding for their business, their services relating to funding businesses or just to give their 2 cents.

If you are dissatisfied with what you see, the answer is not to attack others, but to add something (or at least reference something) that is relevant to the subject matter.

Your evident frustration is acknowledged.  However, I corrected my mistakes and thanked the commentators for their observations -  pound of flesh given and contriteness noted.

Once again, I thank all of those who corrected me.  And I apologize to those I offended by my missteps.

Now "hardknocksmba"...what information of value and substance do you have to share?

Thanks to everyone who has helped to properly identify this kind of post as inappropriate. This is a terrific example of the power of the StartupNation community keeping an eye out for both terrific and questionable contributions.

We love that.

And we need that from all of you. We are absolutely being diligent about moderating all of the content that is posted here in the community forums. But as this community continues to grow (Yee-Haw !!!) it increasingly becomes a task that is more & more challenging.

If you see a post that you believe is not proper, please click on the "Report abuse" link that is on each posted comment. We take this VERY seriously. If I had seen this original post before the additional comments were added by the diligent and active community members above, I would have taken it down.

At this point I am happy to leave it as is so that it serves as an example of how the community can and should contribute to monitoring and moderating itself.

This community forum will continue to be a valuable resource so long as the individual contributions by each community member are thoughtful and fruitful.

Keep it up !!!!
