Copyright & Reprint

Information

Physical Reprints [Paper Publishing]

If you are interested in publishing a page that is printed on paper, then these physical reprints are permitted under the condition that you include the URL for each original Web page. For example, when printing an article where the e2 Marketing or Creative Partners logo appears (like this page), the URL must remain in the footer on each printed article.

Electronic and Online Reproduction

I do not permit other websites to copy my pages without paying a license fee. If you are interested in referring your readers to one or more of my pieces, then simply use a hypertext link to the original piece stored on that particular web. Since I am committed to fighting linkrot, the URL will always remain the same (at least as long as URLs are supported on the Internet, which I expect to be for a very long time). Thus, you can safely link to any of my pages.

Linking to My Web Content

I am sometimes asked whether I will permit other websites to link to pages on any of my web properties. The answer is yes, and there is no reason to fill up my email with messages asking permission to link. Links are the foundation of the web and you are welcome to link to as many articles as you want on any of my sites.

Fair Use Quotes

Finally, the fair use clause obviously applies to my web properties: thus, if you are writing a review or commentary about any of my web properties, you are free to illustrate your review or commentary with one or more screenshots of the site without special permission.

Even though there is no rule that requires this, it would be nice if any quote was supplemented by a link to the full article on each particular web, so that any interested readers can retrieve the original context from which the quote was pulled.
