Malcolm Coles: You can print from the FT, but don’t photocopy it
August 10th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Online Journalism
A weird one this, picked up by Malcolm Coles, who has found (at least) 10 sites whose terms and conditions allow you to print a page from their website, but forbid photocopying them – including the Financial Times and Conde Net.
Answers as to why on the back of a postcard or in the comments below please.

It is a weird one. There is only thing worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about, as Oscar Wilde once said. Letting people read your material is letting people get familiar with your brand. And if that involves a copier, uk companies need to wise up!
