:) - we owned it for a while. I had forgotten about this thread!
And now you have to share some more!
Is this the most recent list? Anyone know?
As far as I know, this is the most recent list, but I was off line for the past two weeks.
If I knew, I wouldn't share.

okay, found the excerpt thread I was looking for... bookmarked
Here's what FURL says about copyright....they seem to have an altogether different view of things...

"# Isn't Furl a huge copyright violation?
A common misperception of Furl is that it allows people to share copyrighted work. Fortunately for everyone, that is not the case. When you save an item with Furl, you save a copy of the document, but that copy is only visible to you. When other users view an item in your public archive, they are directed to the publishers site. If that site requires membership, they must sign up to see the content.
Contrary to these concerns, we believe that Furl is a boon to publishers because it lets people share the interesting and useful information that they find online. This means that any publisher/journalist who produces good work, regardless of their strength in distribution, can be found by thousands of people who otherwise would have never ventured to the site. We know, personally, that we have read many wonderful articles that we never would have seen had it not been for Furl. If you have any concerns with regards to this issue, please contact us. "
I thought that once something was published for common consumption, it was no longer private. I dont want you getting sued, but this makes me angry. However Ill do what you say.
I just tried to post an article that was kind of funny about a russian astrologer suing NASA Link: http://www.mosnews.com/news/2005/09/14/marinabay.shtml
But it gave me an error that we are not allowed to post articles from mosnews.com, what gives, they aren't listed on the baned list.
Thanks for your help.
Bump!
You tireless efforts are apparently changing the culture of news distribution in the US.
I can only hope that as a result of your inspiration our society will be better off because of the electronic, grass roots, rebellion genre you pioneered 10 years ago.
Good luck to us all.
and
You know what you doing.
Move "zig".
For great justice.
Supposidly, Indymedia also doesn't want their stories posted here either.
Thank you. :-)
Well said and true.....
Copyright List...Bump...
Just a learning newbie, where is a freeper 101 guide to be found? And a jargon dictionary for that matter.
This is a lot like when GM first started installing CB's in stock radios; suddenly everyone was a trucker, and just a few were tolerant of the hoi polloi.
Happy New Year, Navy
Thanks
Jim,
I always have to spend a lot of time hunting around for the list of periodicals who do not want their full or excerpted articles copied on to FR. Could you link this from the home page, that way everyone could find it readily, and this will probably save you a lot of aggrevation in the end as well too. I would suggest you have a link to posting guidelines right on the home page.
Thanks
Re Gannet (and, I guess, all restrictions, in general re Fair Use), it just seems this runs so opposite to the Fair Use doctrine of the U.S. copyright statute.
The fair use doctrine allows short quotes and short excerpts of copyrighted works. I assume you abide by this to just keep them off your backs, but how is it that they get this free pass that runs totally counter to the Fair Use Doctrine?
I am sure you have answered this before, and forgive me if so, but it really bugs me that Gannet is acting like the Fair Use Doctrine does not exist.
