The Test

It depends on what you mean by 'discuss'. If you quote some (small) element of copyrighted material as part of a review or for teaching purposes, among other things, that may be alright. If you provide entire questions and answers, that may not be alright.

Brad Templeton (http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html) notes: "Fair use is a complex doctrine meant to allow certain valuable social purposes. Ask yourself why you are republishing what you are posting and why you couldn't have just rewritten it in your own words."

If you reproduce the Fed test and the answers here in this forum, I'll be glad to forward it to the them for you.

Who said anything about reproducing the test and the answers? I know I would never copy the test a post the answers here or any place. That would be tedious and silly. I might post my answers and see what others think about them. I am still trying to figure out what any of this has to do with copyright law? If someone posts only the answers, I am not sure that would be a violation of any law. It might be considered cheating on the test in some jurisdictions, but not violating any law.

Oh well, I guess you cannot really answer the question. So it is time to move on.

Peace
