WARNING

WARNING
I'd like to remind everyone of the following:
DO NOT POST "SUBSCRIBER"-type material from sources such as Baseball America in the diary section, or anywhere else. Basically, if you have to pay to read something on someone else's website, DO NOT POST THE READ-FOR-PAY MATERIAL HERE. You can talk about an article you read, or refer to one, but do not post the material itself, and do not post any link that would enable non-subscribers to read such material. And please do not ask other posters to provide such material if you don't have access to it.
Posting subscriber material where non-subscribers can read it, without permission of the copyright holder, is illegal, and it can get this site into legal trouble.

This is OK:
"Hey, I just read that Baseball America named Joe Shlabotnik to the Class A All-Star Team." A real example is this diary. This diary is just fine, as it mentions non-subscriber, free content that anyone can access.

This is NOT OK:
"Hey, I just read that Baseball America named Joe Shlabotnik to the Class A All-Star Team. The rest of the list is behind the subscriber wall, but here is a link."

This is OK:
"Baseball America writer Fred Jones really likes Justin Upton and rates him as the top prospect in the minors."

This is NOT OK:
"Baseball America writer Fred Jones really likes Justin Upton and rates him as the top prospect in the minors. He ranks Alex Gordon second, Billy Butler third, and Brandon Wood fourth. Here is the rest of the list."

The basic ground rule: if you can read something without being a subscriber, it's OK. Even in cases like that, you should post just short excerpts, making it clear where it came from, and a connecting link so that traffic can go to the originating website for a fuller view.

If you can't read something without being a subscriber, it's not OK to post it or a link to it. You can mention that it exists, but anything that could potentially violate copyright and premium status must be avoided.

I'm not just referring to Baseball America here, but am using that as an example. These rules go for anything that someone is trying to make a living on, ESPN.com Insider, Rotowire, Mastersball, Baseball Prospectus, Baseball HQ, anything that is premium content that people pay for. I've had to warn about this before, and will keep doing so if it crops up again, but I will take sterner measures if necessary. Is this clear?
