We are a news aggregator offering the public a convenient way to see news stories that are not related to politics. As such we make it a point to post just a portion of articles. NWB’s use of news stories falls under the “Fair Use” doctrine as indicated. Under the “Fair Use” doctrine of the U.S. copyright statute, it is permissible to use limited portions of a work including quotes, for purposes such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, and scholarly reports. There are no legal rules permitting the use of a specific number of words, a certain number of musical notes, or percentage of a work. Whether a particular use qualifies as fair use depends on all the circumstances. For consideration of the four factors used in evaluating what falls into the definition of fair use, see more information on Fair Use via http://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/more-info.html. As a general matter, copyright infringement occurs when a copyrighted work is reproduced in its entirety, distributed, performed, publicly displayed, or made into a derivative work as if produced by someone other than the owner without their permission. The intent of NWB is to increase the readership of those who we promote and NWB as a policy will always give credit to the source of the material along with a “read more” link directly back to that source. We respectfully understand that some may not want us to promote and increase the traffic to their site. In such a case, or when our request to use an organization’s material has been ignored or if it was impractical or impossible to obtain permission for use of copyrighted material, if requested in writing, we will remove the material immediately and refrain from promoting materials from that site in the future.
