If you publish a book, you retain the copyright for however long you live plus 70 years.

Blog postings are not copyrighted.
Work-generated e-mail messages are copyrighted (owned by the company), discoverable, and admissible in court..and they are NOT private!
Links to other websites from your website are ok, taking content from another website to put on your website is NOT ok.
Make every effort to obtain permission in writing from the originator of the work when quoting from or posting information on their work. Permission is also required for any distribution of an article in a public setting.
Since 1989, copyright is assumed for any work and cannot be infringed upon; copyright can always be applied for even after the work has already been made public.
Libraries can provide you with an electronic version of an article (PDF) for personal private use, period. We cannot distribute copies of an article.
Put quoted items in quotation marks or use italic font, otherwise it's plagiarism.
