Whilst Dr Beck asked only that we take down the BDI II I still have to pay 4 a copy for the original BDI I so I must assume that s under copyright and licence as well I m going to try and find some relevant bits from WP C to justify or not removing the links From what I can see the relevant text is here Linking to copyrighted works External sites can possibly violate copyright Linking to copyrighted works is usually not a problem as long as you have made a reasonable effort to determine that the page in question is not violating someone else s copyright If it is please do not link to the page Knowingly and intentionally directing others to a site that violates copyright has been considered a form of contributory infringement in the United States Intellectual Reserve v Utah Lighthouse Ministry Also linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else s work sheds a bad light on us If the site in question is making fair use of the material linking is fine From what I can tell I think that the sites that are hosting the BDI I and BDI II are violating copyright Most of them don t say that they have permission to use the instrument they don t cite the original paper and in the licence when you buy a copy it explicitly says not to make electronic copies Now each of these separate users may have made a licence deal with Harcourt individually but it seems unlikely A lot of the google hits that come up are appendices and lecture notes from university projects I don t think there is an exemption for educational use but then university psychology departments often buy a portfolio of test copyrights for limited use This would not normally extend to use on the web however In terms of next steps I actually think this is one of the rare occasions where a consensus is not the way to go but rather we could list the issue at WP CP If it s an issue of helping depressed people I m not sure having people just fill out the form will do them much good After all it just produces a number it s only useful in context One option would be to have a link to a therapeutic community as these may be of some help For instance MoodGym is a site which allows users to self administer cognitive behavioral strategies Will go next to type written letter from Oliver Sacks about cycad toxicity in Guam and the link to ALS
