From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A link placed in this article takes one to a web site which is in breach of copyright, given that it steals data and statistics, copyright and database rights for which vest in Quizzing.co.uk (and its owners Quizzing Ltd.) and, in some cases, the International Quizzing Assoc. Ltd.. The owner of the offending website - who actually has the temerity to claim copyright of the misappropriated data for himself - had been instructed in writing by the IP owners to remove said material but had not done so within the quite reasonable time allowed him (see also the discussion page on Wikipedia concerning quizzing.co.uk). After consulting a Wikipedia volunteer, I have been given the go ahead to delete the link.
I also quote here from Wikipedia’s own page concerning ‘External Links’.
“External sites can possibly violate copyright. Linking to copyrighted works is usually not a problem, as long as you have made a reasonable effort to determine that the page in question is not violating someone else's copyright. If it is, please do not link to the page. … linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on us ...”
In this instance the person linking to the site was the same individual who had violated copyright in the first place!
