Yes, news of that has been all over FR in the last few months. Still - I see all these other sites up and running with links, excerpts, and banner advertising. Somehow, they're doing it. It would be interesting to know how they're dealing with issues related to that.
Its been that way for years. The only thing I can surmise is that they don't generate enough traffic and they aren't a 'threat', whatever that may mean.
What I'd like to know is how they get away with nit picking who they go after. Shouldn't all sites have to follow the same laws if there is a violation involved. Some shouldn't be allowed to get away with something that others can't. Equal protection and all that.
My other question is, how is posting articles and or excerpts for others to see/read any different than the person that buys a newspaper, then leaves it in a restaurant for other customers to see/read the rest of the day?
A link to their site certainly should not be any type of violation, so I'm not sure what their problem is.
