Hello all
I have just copied without alteration, Johnson's, Larry's and Mairian's
emails and sent them to six hundred and something people around the world -
(see below). So sue me! :-)
What a great question Mairian. Let me have a think about chatroom "lurking"
for a while. I am sure there is a way to conduct participant observation
research with a website link attached to your bio-line which contains
information on your research. Many chatrooms provide the opportunity to
"private" individuals in the room so your discussion is not seen by others.
This is a way to gain consent privately ie. consent to report data. The
collection of data should be unproblematic - its use may be.
I think it would be useful to seek information on the collection and
reporting of data, from persons anonymous to their readers. Could say, the
composer of the Desiderata, with some sort of proof of intellectual
ownership take issue with everyone who has ever published it? Is there such
thing as a vox populi status?

Subject: Re: Internet research
| All: Yes, this space is a public space, and therefore, in my mind, not
| private correspondence, unless you email someone privately off list, BUT
| Larry is also right on two counts: 1) his posts are his opinion and
| therefore his intellectual property and he should have some say in how or
| where his "work" as such is used; this is in part why we secure
| permissions, credit folks, and yes, sometimes pay them too. That goes for
| the rest of us too 2) (and this also involves my response to "lurking") I
| don't like it personally because well, I like to know when I'm being used
| as "research" (and yes, I'm sure my opinion is tainted by being the
| "object" of medical research in the past) HOWEVER, I can't control,
| someone's internet behavior; so yes, out of respect and courtesy, I would
| treat this space as I would any print space, and secure permissions when
| appropriate.
|
| And yes, there have been instances where I've sold my writing to an
| internet zine, and had it stolen and reprinted without my permission or
| compensation, therefore violating both the zines first rights and my
| reprint rights. I've also been mentioned veiled or not, in other people's
| work at times without my permission, and I just find that a little
| disturbing to say the least, to suddenly realize that my say meeting
| behavior was under a certain kind of scrutiny; that someone was spinning
| some theory on disability etiquette for an article from *THAT* for
example,
| unbeknownst to me. While chat and list space is a bit more nebulous than
| print space or even an internet zine, I always think its a good rule of
| thumb to at least inform and ask when you have the means to do so,
| particularly when your use of someone else's work will have any kind of
| permanency, (i.e. doesn't fall under "fair use" copyright law which is
| time-limited and educational (mostly) in its application, so you can, say,
| xerox copies of an article from a newspaper or magazine for use in your
| class the next day with your students without obtaining permission from
the
| publisher).
