Chris's email said that:
"I think you may find the following paper of interest.
http://www.statewatch.org/news/2007/jun/wp-136.pdf"
When I looked directly at the pdf on the Statewatch site there is nothing to
indicate that they are a library and it is not a document that they have
published.
The format is exactly the same as on the EU website.
In fact, Statewatch says that:
"_All the material_, design etc. on this website is copyrighted by
Statewatch. Material may be used on the condition that the source is
acknowledged."
Clearly as this document is an EU document it cannot be their copyright.
They go on to say that "Statewatch Is not responsible for the content of
external websites and inclusion of a link does not constitute an
endorsement."
They are clearly not responsible for this EU document - so I am not quite
sure why they have included this on their own website rather than given a
link to the EU document.
Of course, they could privately archive it so that if the EU deleted it from
their website they still have a copy.
My question still stands.
And, of course, if a website link is just given then the reasonable
assumption would be that Statewatch is the publisher.
