If a company posts something in a newspaper of major circulation, I think that it is open to the public because if not, they can take it down easily so page will no longer be accessible. | Thank You, Joshmamabear, and everyone else, for all the helpful comments! What I get out of all this is..................
Since I personally signed up for the Washington Post online edition which contained the $3 off$15 coupon awhile back, it is mine to do what I want with --- share or not share --- because it was in the online version and I could print it a million times if I wanted to and share with all of my friends..........or not...................
Since I did not get to the May 18th NY paper that contained the $5 off $15 coupon on May 18th, I was not able to access the coupon online, because after that date, only the news stories were available, not any coupon or advertising copy. Since someone else was able to access it, presumedly online on May 18th, that person has the ability to make a million copies if they want to and share with all the friends............or not............... HOWEVER, this does make the assumption that the entire paper was available on the NY newspaper website, as it was on the Washington Post website --- I do not know if this is in fact true.
I'm not trying to be argumentative here --- just a newbie trying to figure out how this works ---- I have been getting great ideas from AFC for some time now, and finally joined and want to "give back", but the fine lines of this sharing stuff is just too much for me to get my arms around exactly. Thank You, All!
