Linking Policy
LightroomNews follows certain guidelines when linking to others, and expects the same consideration from third parties who wish to link to us. The principles embodied in these guidelines include proper attribution, respect for copyrights and trademarks, and permission for commercial use.
Links:
Links may include text content such as headlines and may be accompanied by brief summaries of the linked articles. You may also use inline links. If space permits we prefer that you use the title of the article as the link, and we strongly encourage citation of the source site. (Our logos may accompany a citation, but their use requires our written permission.) There is no expiration on such links, and no permission is required.
For your convenience in regularly linking to our stories, LightroomNews also offers RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds of our stories.
Please do not:
* Attribute a link on your site to the LightroomNews site and then link somewhere else.
* Write and link to a summary of the LightroomNews story which exceeds fair use guidelines.
* Frame the LightroomNews story or otherwise present the content as your own.
* Use any images from LightroomNews stories on your site.
* Use any of our logos without written permission.
Reproducing Our Content:
Beyond widely recognized “Fair Use” guidelines defined by U.S. copyright law, any other reproduction of LightroomNews content requires our written permission. Some types of reproduction may require you to pay a licensing fee. Types of use that require our written permission include:
* Use of LightroomNews content in advertisements or promotions;
* Use of LightroomNews trademarks or logos.
* Use of substantial quotations or excerpts, or full text, of LightroomNews articles.
