The Times allows you to download items free for 7 days. After that you have to pay and this article is I think commentary on a new ESRC report "Seven deadly sins" that came out the day before http://www.esrc.ac.uk/ESRCInfoCentre/PO/releases/2005/June/index2a.aspx <http://www.esrc.ac.uk/ESRCInfoCentre/PO/releases/2005/June/index2a.aspx> Might the problem be solved by asking the enquirer if they'd prefer to see the original report which is on their website ? http://www.esrcsocietytoday.ac.uk/ESRCInfoCentre/about/CI/CP/ <http://www.esrcsocietytoday.ac.uk/ESRCInfoCentre/about/CI/CP/> Doesn't change the need to clarify the situation as per Richards question though ........... regards all Hilary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hilary Jackson, Head of Knowledge Services Modernisation - Anglia Support Partnership Kingfisher House, Hinchingbrooke Business Park Huntingdon, Cambs PE29 6FH tel: 01480 398622 fax: 01480 398501 email: [log in to unmask] < mailto:[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> > search the Knowledge database from our website www.knowledge.asp.nhs.uk < http://www.knowledge.asp.nhs.uk <http://www.knowledge.asp.nhs.uk/> > -----Original Message----- From: Richard Holmes [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 05 August 2005 11:04 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Newpaper copyright Following hot on the heels of Diane's summary yesterday regarding the NHS copyright licence not covering newspapers, I have just been asked by a PCT employee to get hold of an article from The Times. Does this mean that I am not legally allowed to ask any institution that may have a copy of that paper to send me a photocopy or scanned image? Although I haven't yet checked whether my own organisation has a separate licence to cover newspapers, I think it unlilely that anyone within it would have the relevant edition anyway. Looking at the Times Online I see we would have to pay £10 to acquire a single article! For clarity, if an external organisation were to have the relevant edition to hand, and a licence to photocopy articles from it, would I be legally allowed to request and receive a copy? In case it's of use, the article I've been asked to acquire is "Society's New Seven Deadly Sins", which apparently appeared in The Times on June 18th this year. Many thanks in advance for any advice.
