Ethical question...
If a file sharing site has various "Share" applications which permit anyone at all to post a link to any page of that site on Twitter, Facebook etc
and given that all participants in the public chat on this file sharing site are fully aware of what is on the page, is it wrong to use the functionality that is provided?
Some Great Books Needed part 8 (General Fiction) - Share Term Papers
Does sharing a public link to a public page constitute quoting a person's remarks? I shouldn't have thought so. It is almost certainly covered by Fair Use, which permits limited quoting for the purposes of commentary, critique, reportage, education and so forth as long as it does not negatively impact the author's ability to make money from his or her writing.
What do you think?
