And please don't impute motives or conclusions to me that I do not have.
If I’m not mistaken, you’ve reached out to me before regarding the Rev and his clickbait blogpimps. I have tried to explain before that what he does is copy and paste, and not even legal in most cases. He could be sued and made to pay if the original authors knew he was breaking copyright laws.
When an article says, “All rights reserved”, well, it means just that. They reserve the rights to their material.
Although he’s not plagiarizing the articles, because he does give credit to the author, he MUST still get permission FROM the author to include it on his blog, and he SHOULD link it back to the original website, which he does not do.
I think he’s a con man.
Now, if I’m confusing you with another FReeper, then I apologize. However, I’ve occasionally received replies like yours, and if some of those were from you, then I would have to assume you are ok with what the Rev does here at FR. Why FReepers are standing up for him, I have no idea.
