Yes, many sites have to be excerpted for copyright reasons. But there is no copyright issue when the poster is the author. When the poster is the author, they have no reason to excerpt, except to rack up hits.
Only because you cannot see beyond your bias.
Question is it possible for someone who writes a blog to plagiarize another author in his blog?
If so would this open up Free Republic to copyright suit if such were posted in full on Free Republic?
If such a thread were posted on Free Republic is it possible the Mods and/or the site owners may not know such a plagiarized work is being posted given the vastness of copyrighted works available on the Internet not to mention those that are in print form only and thus miss the chance to delete the thread?
