I want to address this so that no one posts stories in this group.  Feel free to post a link to anything relevant and then discuss it here.  However, I follow and obey copyright laws and will not allow anyone to post works from other people here.  You need to obtain written permission in order to copy the work of another person. 

I have gone against two autism organizations for taking articles off my site without even asking and placing them on their sites and posting links to their stories that are copied from me.  This is wrong and the actual author can have a website shut down and the ISP shut down if they do not remove the stolen content.

I have been writing on www.epinions.com for over seven years and they go after people who steal work. www.gather.com does the same thing and I report people who do this.

So this is a heads up that I report here to CafeMom as well if anyone posts copyrighted material on the site and does not include a link and mention the author.

Here is what CafeMom states on the subject:
