“I, for one, have MUCH BETTER things to do than to spend the time - repeatedly - posting something to FR only to have the message pop up “Post blocked due to copyright complaint”.”
I highly doubt that given that you took the time to maje this post.
No soup for you.
Next.
good vanity/rant for a change. factual, direct, to the point. hope other vanities follow your lead.
What’s the point of it anyway? To honor the publisher’s display requests, individually? This seems tediously hard to maintain.
It’s been a long time since my University days and I know copyright laws can change, but back in the day fair use and citation clauses permitted you to excerpt small portions of any work, as long as you cited the author/source.
Media cite published articles all the time to discuss them as topics. I know that doesn’t mean FR wouldn’t be targeted for political motives, but why can’t the poster choose which portions to excerpt?
What a rant.
You should post this to your blog and then excerpt that blog here to Free Republic.
Ping to humblegunner of course.
You’re into coding? Maybe send them some code that validates a source link when you insert it into the provided box. Then it can say “headline link only” or my favorite “No Thanks” when the admin doesn’t like the source regardless of copyright and you don’t have to spend more time than that.
It’s been a while since I posted a fresh thread so I don’t recall if there is a preview and whether that would help abbreviate the process - preview it before you start typing post #1. Then I presume it will give you the alert.
Seldom post anything since others seem to get around to it.
But very occasionally run across something apt.
Do remember that copyright page was a mess.
(though one could, of course, ‘search’ for a name.
Heck, I’ve lost the link to it.
Blogs are gay, we know it’s true.
They’re really gay and so are you.
You post a blog and you touch yourself,
You stole the cookies from the Keebler Elf.
Burmashave.
You cared less enough to post a whiney thread about your butthurt.
That would likely be John Robinson. He's the awesome fellow who wrote the software that is allowing you to bitch at him.
John also does all the maintenance on it. And fixes the server(s) when the site hiccups.
You might want to thank him for all his hard work on your behalf. And then John, or one of the Admin Mods, will reply to your complaint, if they feel like it. They might, ya never know.
It doesn’t matter anyway!!!
Big Tech will be censoring FR in less than 6 months!
Did you donate today...I didn’t.
Rant most, think less. Good plan.
This happened to me a few times too. It would literally take a second to add the name of a news source to a list whenever the admin adds it to whatever line of code blocks the posts. Even if the list was just a single text file with the names of the blocked news sources in alphabetical order.
I will say that, while FR fundraising drives me crazy, it sure beats the heck outta annoying ads everywhere. Quite honestly, if FR depended on ads to survive, I think she would have been done for a long time ago, a fact that many newspaper and news websites haven't quite grasped.
Rd later.
“”I could care less.””
As pointed out many times at FR, you really mean “I couldn’t care less.”
I believe the posting page is upside down. The question, “Source URL” should be the first question asked. As it is now, that question is one of the last ones asked.
By putting it first, the article source can be immediately checked against the No-No list and an appropriate error message displayed, saving the FReeper time and frustration.
I also believe the copyright post should be done away with. It hasn’t been correct (updated) in years.
just quit donating ... that’s what i did after years of donating when i kept having posts deleted for telling Freepers how i managed to obtain HCQ and Ivermectin from India ...
It’s way too tedious to post on this site anyway.
And I never understood why mainstream media sources were legit and opinions of normal Americans (from their blogs or websites or just from their minds) were mocked and put down as not legitimate enough. When you realize what these last few decades of mass media have done to Americans, it’s a shame we legitimized them here.
How much less could you really care?
