It's not just the Mail to be honest - although the Mail do tend to take more copy/ run longer pieces online than other places.

We have always been clear that this is a public forum and that folks should only share what they are prepared to be in the public domain but we will have a close look (i.e. talk to lawyers) at what constitutes "fair use" and make sure the media are staying within the boundaries.

I rather suspect though, it might be one of those things that needs a precedent to be established, so in the meantime I'd re-iterate that Mnetters should be aware that this isn't a private space and you never know who might be looking in.

@JaneAustinAllegro

Justine, I interpret your message to mean that you aren't colluding with any journos by licensing content to them, which I hope is the case. YOur site T&Cs are however rather outdated in the terms of the breadth of scope that you have to use content posted here for your own commercial purposes without consent / sharing. That could happily be limited to what's required for you to run the service and the publications you make under the MN name (someone reminded me that you did books a while back). It seems rather overreaching as it is, and is much further than any of the significant social networks go. Maybe the lawyers could give them a health check / update too?

Yes we'll do that too. Thanks for the input.
