Now the issue is which ever fact I take as being fact could be considered as being copyrighted,is the fact I take and use as part of my article.
When you reasearch and find that facts vary which do you take as being correct?
Thank you
Careful. You might be able to find a kazillion matching examples of the "fact" that the Hopi Indians have no conception of time, because they have no words for time. Doesn't mean it's true.
You can even look up a bunch of .edu sites and probably find tons of great evidence backing up this bogus hopi theory. You'll also find evidence against it. I imagine that's where photocroatia is, trying to sift through it all and get to the truth.
Best approach to the dilemma is to become a journalist: cite both opposing views (2 sources from each side) leave it up to your readers. If necessary take it a step further and editorialize.
I imagine you want your facts to be credible to your readers. The best way is to make your sources credible...to your readers. After all, some sites can easily get away with fabricated nonsense written by hacks while others simply can't.
Think: who's reading your website, and why are they reading it?
