Tom Cruise's Sister to Join Bush Staff
"Harry Krause" wrote in message ... Tom Cruise's Sister to Join Bush Staff One day after Tom Cruise replaced his sister Lee Anne DeVette as his publicist, Ms. DeVette staged a stunning professional comeback, announcing she has joined President George W. Bush's staff as a top political advisor. It was an astonishing personal coup for Ms. DeVette, who has no political experience and whose tenure as Mr. Cruise's publicist was characterized mainly by erratic public appearances and controversial outbursts by the talkative actor. But according to one White House aide, the decision to add Ms. DeVette was a "no brainer": "Lee Ann doesn't have as much baggage as Karl does, and with our poll numbers as low as they are, we had to start thinking outside the box." On Ms. DeVette's first day on the job, Mr. Bush appeared on NBC's "Today Show," where he lectured host Matt Lauer about the evils of economics, telling him at one point, "I've done the research, and economics is not a real science." Later in the day, the president appeared on "Oprah," where he jumped up and down on host Oprah Winfrey's couch and proclaimed his love for First Lady Laura Bush while a visibly alarmed Ms. Winfrey looked on. But according to Buddy Schlantz, a veteran talent agent and longtime observer of the Hollywood scene, Ms. DeVette's work has only begun: "If those approval ratings don't go up soon, expect the president to announce that he's marrying Scarlett Johansson and she's having his baby." -- Andy Borowitz Did you send you check to Andy for ripping off his columns? |

Harry has never created any intelligent property worthy of stealing, so he
doesn't place any value on others intelligent property. A writer should understand copyright laws, my guess is Harry is not a writer. I would also guess he illegally downloads music and software, "Curtis CCR" wrote in message oups.com... Bill McKee wrote: "Harry Krause" wrote in message ...

Is it a copyright violation if he leaves out pertinent paragraphs (unsupportive, I mean), or adds some words, or changes some words? Yes. Even though he omitted the last paragraph of the Borowitz piece, it is still a copyright violation. Posting 6 of the 7 paragraphs, or 85% of a copyrighted work without permission is not an "excerpt" and not "fair use." If he adds or changes a few words, then Harry can't attribute them to Borowitz, but by not giving the attribution, he would be engaging in good old fashioned plagerism. Basically, if Harry writes any thing about Tom Cruise's sister joining the Bush staff, he is ripping off a story from Borowitz. Harry knows how do this correctly, but I'll bet I know why he chooses to do it the way he does. |

He acts like a child. I am sure it is one of the reasons he is still violating copyrights by posting articles as he does to rec.boats. This was all explained to him months ago and instead of saying "You're right, I'll stop," or even just quietly ceasing the behavior, he acts as if, "Nobody is going to tell me that what I am doing is wrong. And to PROVE it, I will continue to do just what I am doing." If Harry started posting news and the opinions of others' in compliance with fair use, he probably figures he would be admitting that somebody schooled him. And nobody can teach Harry anything. Going by my recollection of posts where he talked about learning lessons, it would appear that his father is the only person Harry will admit taught him anything. Who taught him to be an asshole? :) |

Harry,
You cut and paste in violation of copyright laws because you do not respect others intellectual property. The correct and legal way to "post an article" is to include the headline, 2 or 3 sentences, and then a link to the page of the article. That way, the owner of the article, and the publisher of the article will have the readers on their site. If you had spent time creating intellectual property you would understand why cut and pasting it is stealing from the author and publisher. "Harry Krause" wrote in message ...

If you would like to START expending energy, explain why I am wrong about your post being a copyright rip off. Of course, you won't be able to explain it. So maybe you're right - Why expend the energy? Here's a real simple answer for you, Curtis. I hope you understand it. Some weeks ago, I decided when I quoted a news article, I'd only post a handful of paragraphs, along with a comment of my one. That makes my reposting fair play. Lo and behold, half the right-wing asses here whined that I was not posting the whole article and they accused me of leaving out the good stuff. So, I post an entire article, credit it properly, and voila, half the right-wing asses whine about that. The funny thing is, two of the asses that whined when I clipped the articles are now whining about the longer versions. My conclusion: they've caught Smithers Flu. |
