The Legalities of "reblogging"

I notice that the "reblog this" button is conspicuously missing from the Wordpress navigation bar. That's because pilphering content off the internet is illegal. Even if there is no notice of copyright posted, you can be sure that the content belongs to somebody. If you did not create it yourself, then you shouldn't use it. If you do not have a license agreement, then you can be liable for damages as much as $150,000 per violation. There is the rule of automatic Copyright. Any intellectual property legally belongs to the person who created it, upon it's creation. Yet Wordpress was inviting other users to violate international copyright laws and therefore could have legal implications for Wordpress. The Copyright owner is the only one who controls the publishing, copying and distribution of their work. I notice that many bloggers erroneously believe that if they provide a meager link back to where ever they took the content from,is enough to prevent a Copyright lawsuit. It is not. In fact, pointing to the source is an admission that you did not create the material yourself and it could get you into more trouble. So think before you right click. If you take anything that does not legally belong to you from Tropic Style Magazine or from any my blogs, you will be met with a legal notice
