In addition, if anyone has raw mortality, disease, or related data please send me feedback and I will incorporate it into the ever-growing database of information and present it free of charge to the public. 3. Can Health Sentinel post news from other sources? We believe according to fair use restrictions on copyright law that posting of such information is valid as it provides valuable news for use by the public. We also post as much as possible of where the information was obtained (source, author, date, link). http://straylight.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode17/usc_sec_17_00000107----000-.html § 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include— (1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and (4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors. 4. Where does Health Sentinel get its information? All the information presented on Health Sentinel is from well-respected scientific and medical journals as well as well-known news sources. All information is fully referenced and where possible a link to the on-line information is made available. The data that was used to generate the graphs comes from a large number of sources with those references displayed on the graph itself. |
