Hi Alex,

At first, I thought so too.

But when one goes to the article's website, right underneath the title, I noticed that Demian wants his article(s) shared on public platforms i.e. Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+ and Pinterest.

Demian is asking the viewer to share his article. So where does the copyright infringement come into play?

Because you bring up a great point I went to the Terms of Service section of the Rainmaker Digital site to view their position.

Here is that link: Terms of Service

After reading that section it would have to be Demian who files any potential copyright infringement because he believes his work is being infringed upon.

As in this one instance Chris is sharing a resource and directs the viewer via hyperlink to the article's website, not away from it. Chris also states he did not write the article nor takes credit for it.

In this one instance I believe Chris wants to know from us writers, after reading the article, what method do we use and why.

*****

Chris to answer your question.

For me it hinges on 2 things.

1. What the client wants
2. What the research reveals

Once I know those two things then I decide which method I'll use.
