Because this site is home to so many I really find this issue important to revisit.
This a partial share I've posted before and updated to include #2 found in the FAQS

When I read:
All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in or introduced into a retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form, or by any means (electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise), without the prior permission of the publisher.
It is my understanding that this not only applies to CAL (Conference Approved Literature) but anything that states it is copyrighted (protected by laws). 

It is out of respect for the publisher, the future of this site, that all who find Experience, Strength and Hope here and the ones who may find their way here in the future will be able to do so. This is why I find it important to obey such laws and guidelines.

If I wish to share say a quote or a few sentences I will state the source from which I found it, anything more would be considered copyright infringement. Just as it reads on the top of this page:

>Miracles In Progress Al-Anon Family Group Message Board
The material presented here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method to exchange information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal level.<

I am re-sharing this post because there have been a few instances of copyrighting. At the January Business Meeting this was brought up as a reminder, the minutes reflect this. There's also a detailed paragraph on copyrighting that can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions (#2 in the FAQs) on the top of this message board.

From the MIP Al-Anon Message Board FAQS:

>2.  Q. Is it okay to copy and post things out of our literature (like One Day at a Time, Courage to Change, etc.) on the message board?

A. In the Al-Anon/Alateen service manual it states the following:
Service Tools/Material and Electronic Publishing A listing of Al-Anon/Alateen service tools/materials that may be posted on Web sites is found on the WSO Web site: www.al-anon.alateen.org. A credit line "Reprinted by permission of Al-Anon Family Headquarters, Inc" Is required. No other Al-Anon/Alateen copyrighted literature may be reprinted electronically without express written permission from the WSO.

Anytime copyrighted material is posted on the internet on a message board such as this without the written permission of the author, it is in violation of copyright law.  It is out of respect for the publisher, and to insure the future of this site's existence and for who find experience, strength and hope here and the ones who may find their way here in the future that we should all respect the copyright laws. 

For this reason, it is best to post only original material.<
