Hello All,
First sorry for the long list of questions but I thought it would be better to send them all at once.
We are a middle east group of people who are planning to create and distribute a free online computer magazine in PDF format where articles are going to be available on the magazine website as well, so our questions are as follows:
Content related questions
- Is there a problem in distributing the magazine in PDF format?
- We are going to use the help of some freelance writers in some of the magazine articles, how can we ensure that they don't break any copyright laws or in other words how can we make sure that they don't just copy the submitted articles from some other website or online publication?
- Is there an issue in using images from product owners' websites (e.g. images for laptops, hard disks ...) although that this type of images are widely spread online in all computer related websites and online publications?
- What avout using the logo of companies on reviewing the company itself (e.g. writing an article about google and put google's logo inside the article)?
Conflicts related question
- Is there a possibility that some product owner raise a law suite against us because he/she didn't like the preview of his/her product? How to overcome this issue?
Distribution question
- Is there a problem in distributing the magzine online? is there something that we need to take care of?
General request
- It will be great if you can guide us to an online reading material that covers copyrights and online publishing in general.
Thanks and sorry again for the long list of questions.
