Maybe somebody has ever asked this question. But I just want to know, can we freely bring our favorite discussion here to a publisher. Thanks in advance for your info.

man2sting not mine as mine is mine and you would have to ask my permission which I sure would not give as I have thought about getting some of my better discussions and putting them into a book, but for you to use our discussions you would have to have our permission first.I would think it could be done alright. good discussion by the way.

Thanks for your information Hatley, but shouldn't we ask permission to the administrator here?

Right after we have submitted our words here in MyLot, it immediately become a property of MyLot already! If you want to use or reproduce anything that is within this website, you need to seek first the approval of the admin here.

Personally I am sure there are some people here who have started some Great discussions and have considered starting a topic for an article somewhere or maybe even in the future a book. Overall it might even be a Great topic of interest that many others might be totally interested to learn about and read about as well. But if you were to take and submit all of the stuff in here word for word somewhere, especially if others words were included would not be legal and you could get yourself in trouble. If you took bits and pieces and combined them into your own words that would be the Better way for sure. But this could be a positive idea and plan for sure.

That is really a good idea. But I have no idea if that is possible. Knowing you might passed by the intellectual property of the others. Because this is sharing discussion. I really dont have a clue. But nice suggestion.

Hi dear, As in the case of individual case, on a daily basis, by adopting the copy past function and self interest can be go for a great deal. But the professional way of doing can attract legal approvals and the associated formalities. Also, as it contains personal views and opinions, it has its own limitations. However, I think as for me, I can plug out the contents for my own purposes, it may work also. But effort and hard work is involved in it. Also, it may not feel so great after a period of time because, we have gone through the topics once. Regards, Thank-s
