Bloggers Beware: Debunking Eight Copyright Myths of the Online World
Well worth reading.
A handful of myths have spawned practices, particularly among bloggers and Website owners, that turn copyright law on its head. These myths are rooted in the assumption that everything is up for use online unless and until proven otherwise. It doesn’t help that technology has made it so easy to take and share images, text and files. Those myths and that ease have fostered a presumption of entitlement that causes Netizens to treat the Internet (and non-electronic sources as well) as a buffet spread of photos, articles, sounds and multi-media files free for the plucking and posting.

A great reference. Thank you. I think about this every day. I only hope that I do a good job of following the correct principles of practice.
