“If” I know how the internet, vis a vis copyright works?
LOL!
I get paid for my art and photography so I *have* to know copyright law.
I forced Yahoo to utterly -kill- a paying business website because they stole and posted 2 of my photos without my permission and refused to remove them.
So, yeah...I know “how it works”.
To answer your previous question, [busy little thing, aren’t we?] sure, bloggers can flog their sites all they want and make money.
To do so on what I consider a -serious- public service forum is disgusting, repulsive and distasteful in the extreme.
Jim has to pay for the bandwidth *we* are blessed with, out of the conviction of his political principles yet there are those who abuse their privilege to post here by pimping their blogs in a parasitic fashion.
If I want trackers, web bugs and bots following my every move, I’ll [foolishly] go visit some XXX or warez site.
*Nothing* in this entire thread actually has jack squat to do with copyright and/or the infringement thereof; it’s about _blog pimps leeching from a legitimate forum, solely to put money in *their* pocket_.
You’ll have to pardon me, but I do dislike seeing JR taken advantage of in such manner.
If *you’re* okay with pay-per-click ticks sucking him dry, that’s your ‘viewpoint’, not mine.
And is it your intention to disrupt threads in which people excerpt their blogs and other forms of online media in order to deny traffic to those websites?
"If *you’re* okay with pay-per-click ticks sucking him dry, that’s your ‘viewpoint’, not mine."
Could you explain how that works exactly?
