Hi DDoug,

A copyright gives an author of an orginal work exclusive rights to its publication and distribution. It is not a violation of copyright laws to link to a website. It can be a violation to just copy and paste someone else's work without attribution.

If I understand Tony correctly, you could have/still can posted a link to the material you want to share. This would protect the intellectual property rights of the original author/ publisher without violating your 1st Amendment rights.
