Talk:Panther City

The only thing that could possibly be considered copyrighted material in the edited revision is a newspaper article that was published in 1875. That should easily fall under the Public Domain laws by this date. Nothing else is included in http://www.pantherfountain.com/pantherstory.asp. I wrote the history from the original article, which is not property of pantherfountain.com, but is an article written over 130 years ago for a newspaper that no longer even exists.

 * Even if the source the Website used was very old, they still hold copyright on their version of the article, which was wholesale copied onto this Wikipedia page. NipokNek 22:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

How can you copyright something someone else has copyrighted and/or written? Isn't that the reason they (And I) gave the source? If I were to pull up the original microfiche of the paper and retyped it in verbatim, it would still be the exact wording, and therefore would look like it was "wholesale copied" from their page.


 * You also copied their introductory paragraph, which rather undermines that argument. NipokNek 12:23, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
