Are you implying that Jim Robinson, in some way unfathomable to any rational mind, [let alone a court of law] now “owns” all the crap posted by blog pimps?
LOL!
“Are you a lawyer by any chance?”
People are never a lawyer, by chance.
Generally, they make a conscious choice to be one.
Are you a contortionist, by any chance?
I’ve rarely witnessed such tortuously twisted reasoning.
Two things i've noticed you have trouble answering simple questions and you seem to have trouble with basic logic.
Copyright law is such that when you post your writings on someone else's Forum you have given them a limited right to use it. Therefore if you wish to sell the rights to your work it complicates any transactions you wish to make with publishers.
Its why you will see a band take down a selfmade youtube video once they sign a deal with a publisher. The publisher wants the rights protected and leaving it on the Internet for free in their eyes dilutes the value of the work. The problem with a site like FR is the users have no ability to erase a thread. So then by excerpting you retain the control over the work. Its really very simple IF you have taken the time to research and understand how Copyright and the Internet works.
