NYOB,
Grin, you are beginning to sound like Basskisser. (running for cover).

If you notice the cut and paste on your site are limited to 2 or 3
sentences. The same as when someone quotes a source in a essay. The blog
and probably most large blog sites have probably received permission to use
the copyright information as long as they follow certain guidelines.

Here is a link that reviews how one can legally republish news articles
online. http://www.jdlasica.com/articles/OJR-copyright.html



Remember, I do not disagree that the chance of a news source suing Krause is
slim, I am stating it is illegal, which it is.

NOYB,
On your blog site, he cites a very small section of the article, and then
publishes a link back to the original site. This is allowed in the DMCA
act and is completely different from cut and pasting the entire article.
The original publisher and author are receiving the benefit of having the
reader see the ads on web page.

Nah... not really. Truth be known?

Most Civil Litigation is punitive in nature. The point isn't to
"prevail in a court of law," but to settle out of court with enough
$$$$$.$$ to pay the attorney and walk away with a bit of booty.....

A-r-r-r-r---- Matey....

No, it is my livelihood. If I let it pass I might as well start sweeping
floors.

Baloney. Once you've posted it on the web (via a newspaper article,
etc), the writing can be disseminated all over the web, as long as the
person posting the article isn't doing if for profit, nor claiming the
work as their own.

Check out www.freerepublic.com (the site that broke the phony CBS
national guard memo) or any other of the big name "blog" sites.. They
cut and paste articles (with links) all of the time. Don't you think the
news media's attorneys would be all over them if they could?
