  On the Early Thread, I generally post a few things that happened that day, with two or three clips of relevant music from YouTube, and generally a joke.
  
  I get the information from various internet sites, and as far as I can tell, it isn't copyrighted. I was under the impression that YouTube controlled copyright issues, as sometimes I click on links and get told that they have been removed because of copyright.
  
  I was modded yesterday and got the general Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú E mail which doesn't make it clear what exactly I had done wrong. I see quite a lot of links to YouTube on other threads.
  
  Is it possible to stop sending general e mails and explain which bits of posts have breached the rules?

  aDb, I think there was a new Mod on with no sense of humour. I had a posting removed because I commented, re: Heather McCartney's court case, that she didn't have a leg to stand on.

  aeroDellboy and I have now corresponded on this, but I though it might be useful to reiterate an important point for general consumption.
  
  Works don't have to be "copyrighted" to be protected. Copyright exists in all works as soon as they are created. I know people cut and paste masses of stuff all over the internet, but as you can understand the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú has to be squeaky clean about this.

  Where copyright exists there is also the doctrine of "Fair Use", where it /is/ legal to publish "insubstantial extracts" (e.g. two lines from a song lyric) or longer extracts for the purpose of "review" or "satire". So, for example, where someone publishes one verse of a poem followed by the words "Good poem!" it technically falls under the "review" exemption. AFAIK these exemptions exist both in the UK and US.

  Any response from Keri and/or Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Legal to that important point?

  Well, if you want one. Peet's got it pretty right, although I wouldn't like to defend the use if the only amount of review was two words. You have to be very careful with poetry because generally poems are short so maybe even one verse would be considered "substantial".
  
  The safe thing to do is to link to the work in question.
