ethics about traded material???

COACH,

Why wouldn't it be? It became your property to do what you want to do with it when you received it from your scource. I see nothing at all wrong with it, whatsoever. If we all only traded what we had, there wouldn't be much to go around, imo.

If it is THEIR stuff and they say they are cool with it (meaning, they are the authors) Fine. If they say nothing at all about it, then I don't send it out. If in doubt, ask. If you don't know who wrote it, then don't trade it. If it is free to the public on the internet, then if you trade someone for it, you are just providing them a service to access to information that you have found.

When trading materials I would always suggest that if it is from someone else you have their OK especially if it is publised. Also don't claim its your's if indeed someone else has published it. Trading is OK its when you start to duplicate and sell it as your's. Coach CAmpbell

Coach Campbell,

Your absolutely right about that aspect of the topic! There are COPYRIGHT LAWS against that sort of thing, that carry some pretty hefty fines and prison sentences.
