So Drudge is going out of business?
Drudge publishes URLs with story titles. Easy way to protect yourself from Drudge is DO NOT PUT IT ON THE NET.
I think that this has to lead to more court cases higher up. The way blogs work — you quote a little and give a link — and has been recognized as falling under fair use. The danger is lawsuits in the short term until a higher court can rule differently.
I thought the issue was the site was charging.
Drudge does not clip any part of the article and most of the time he changes the title of the article he’s linking, too.
It will mean we will only be able to post titles of articles and we might not be able to copy the titles word for word.
Congress, if the people had any power, could write a law to allow excerpting copyrighted material for discussion purposes on or off the Internet. They should do that.
