If you can get them to do it, I would say there should be no problem.

We don’t just quote bloggers here, and there’s a lot of information that bloggers could not provide without reading the in a publication.

So some of our information would stay, but a lot would disappear.

A blogger revealing what he read on a sole source site would still be in trouble for passing on copyrighted information.

I’m not an attorney, but this would be a logical outcome >IMO.

I don’t think I’m being clear... I mean a citizen journalist as in what Dustin Ulsterman or James O’Keefe are doing. They are creating their own content, farming their own sources. 100% independent. And allowing their stuff to be linked elsewhere. It’s clicks and revenue for them, so why not? In my opinion, this law will dry up the mainstream news media sources faster than anything else.
