The Sierra Club cannot advise Chat/Message Board participants with respect to compliance with intellectual property and other laws. However, we ask you to be aware of the following -- it is a commonly held but very mistaken belief that materials posted on the Internet are automatically in the public domain. This is not correct. Except for official government documents, virtually all works of original authorship are protected by copyright regardless of the manner of publication or distribution, including online. Except under very limited circumstances constituting "fair use," you must get the copyright owner's permission before reproducing all or part of a copyrighted work.
