Can you post a FAQ from another source with copyrighted answers?
Chris
Under US copyright law you can only use one or two sentences of someone else's copyrighted material and then only for specific purposes such as review, critique, or educational (see "fair use").
Even if it is your own copyrighted material, we still ask that you do not post more than one or two sentences. Anything you do post becomes part of WikiAnswers and any WikiAnswers Contributor can add, edit, or remove parts of it. This is essential to our "wiki" system of collaboratively growing FAQs. WikiAnswers Contributors can improve each other's answers. This wouldn't be possible if the original answerer wanted to keep the copyright to their answer.
So, I'm sorry to say, you cannot post copyrighted material whether you own it or not. If you posted your copyrighted text you'd be giving up the copyright. If you posted someone else's copyrighted text, we would need to remove it so we don't violate that person's legal rights.
If you have a FAQ of your own or see a FAQ on someone else's Web site that is copyrighted, here's what you could do. Post the questions as new WikiAnswers questions. In the answers, quote one or two sentences from the other site. Or even better, summarize the answers in your own words. Then link to the other site in the right hand column of the page under "More Information" where it says "Related Links." This would benefit WikiAnswers visitors and the owners of the copyrighted material.
