Whew, that was a long read alright! I even went on a side quest and read the linked article by "effing the ineffable."
Very well researched and cohesive. Perhaps too many links for my mind, but regardless, I appreciate the effort in providing all these different resources.
I didn't realize until now why some titles mentioned "after so and so," but now I do! There definitely does seem to be some grey area, and it can be tricky and time consuming and even frustrating to navigate.
This topic of creditting original creators isn't talked about enough I think. I mean, it's crazy to think that people would plagiarize whole arse poem, but I guess they do. Is it really that hard to just do an epigraph or something?
I've quoted a couple ppl a handful of times, and I always include their name. The one part that I don't quite agree with is asking for a contemporary writer's permission to quote them. If they've published something and made it available to the public, then shouldn't anyone be free to use their work respectably, while crediting them and all that?
Although, I can see the potential problem when it comes to making money using a part of someone else's work. Man, this is why I never considered law haha. Way too many headaches. And we all need a lawyer friend ngl.
The part about asking yourself if you might be doing harm is an unconfortable one but a needed one. I hadn't thought of that before.
Always a pleasure to read your posts. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for spending so much time with my work once again!
I think you are correct that there may be too many links in this one, and I'll keep that in mind as I continue working on this series. For this series, I want to create posts that are resourceful enough to be worth bookmarking, but I don't want to overwhelm my readers.
I think when it comes to some creative works like poetry, it's important to take extra precautions before quoting, as they are so concise that a single line could be the whole poem itself, or still a large fraction of it.
Furthermore, even if we don't technically have to ask for someone's permission to use their work, I've realized it's often best to do so anyways just to show them respect and give them the opportunity to express if they would feel uncomfortable. It's just part of being in community with other people.
