RE: Email Fair Use

I would say that technically, the person did not violate copyright laws
because they did give your name as author, so they were citing you. But
they should have asked your permission prior to posting anything you
wrote on the other list. If you don't want it there, I would simply
write to the list moderator and ask that it be removed.

Hi,

I'm new to the list and have a question I hope you all can help me with.
I
belong to a number of email chat groups. They state that posts are
copyright protected and cannot be distributed outside the list without
permission of the author. Recently the content of a post I wrote on one
list was incorporated by someone in post written on another list without
my
permission. She did acknowledge that I was the author of the
incorporated
material. Is this a violation of  copyright laws, or does Fair Use
protect
her?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
