I don't think that is true if you are credited as the author and FR doesn't buy the rights from you.
Not being well versed in copywrite law, I’m not sure about that so I prefer to be cautious.
I’ve been a member of FR for a long time and one of the first rules I learned was that you never post an entire article because it could get FR in trouble for copywrite infringement, and I have always done my best to not violate that rule. I can’t speak for others, but I suspect that was the same reason Possum John excerpted from my blog rather than posting the whole thing.
I haven’t been a frequent visitor to this site for several years, mainly because there are so many people who are more interested in stupid arguments rather than intellectual debate on important issues.
I have a suggestion, anyone who objects to my little blog, for which I have never, ever been paid a penny, getting traffic from FR can feel free to never click on the link. Traffic from FR is a tiny percentage of what my blog gets, and I can live with it if you don’t read it.
This is the last thing I’m going to say about this. The real issues need the attention.
