Yesterday we had a
thread with an article by John Lott.
It was published by the LATimes as an op-ed.
A poster found and posted a
link (but not the text) to Lott's own site which contained the same material and bearing the notice/link that it had been published by LATimes as well.
Apparently, Lott retains ownership and LAT simply published it as an op-ed.
Since it was not exclusive to LATimes and Lott retains ownership, it is still proper to post an alternative link, actually the original and permanent link, to the same material, isn't it?
I don't want to increase LAT/WP ad revenue by clicking through if the material is available elsewhere. And I'd rather click through to Lott to help him instead of LATimes.
In that case, I'd excerpt it to Lott's site. Why give LAT more hits?
