Note: Don't post anything at all from the Las Vegas Review Journal or anything from organizations run by Stevens Media, LLC or RightHaven, LLC until the lawsuit brought against us by them is resolved.

Here's an updated alphabetical list of the sites that have complained about copyright violations thus far. The posting program will only allow excerpts and or deny posting where designated from the following sites:

These sites must be excerpted and linked only [300 words or less, 1/2 the words or less for short articles]:

All McClatchy sources must be excerpted and linked.

These publishers have asked us not to allow any material at all to be posted to FR:

05/06/04 -

Received another letter from Gannett Publications, publisher of USAToday, and several other newspapers. Due to contractual arrangements they have with third-party content providers, they have denied our request to allow posting of excerpts. They will only allow the posting of titles and links.

Please do not post full text or even excerpts from the following Gannett Web sites:

GANNETT NEWSPAPERS ON THE WEB:

We will eventually add a link to this list from our posting program. In the meantime, you can find it by searching on "copyright list."


In addition to all of the above, do not post articles written by Maralyn Lois Polak per her copyright complaint. Her column usually appears on WorldNetDaily.

Also, do not post images from Corbis or Getty.

Thanks,

Jim

********Additional

New York Times must be excerpted.

All material from the Associated Press must be excerpted regardless of source (very brief excerpts). AP photos are not allowed.

Is there a way to add a dark screen (I have Photic sneeze reflex) and an edit button?
Photic sneeze reflex. Sudden Bright light will start a chain of sneezes. Mostly annoying but can be avoided.

They are all practicing a form of self-censorship...very revealing. I suppose it is because many of them are afraid of principled, reasoning, conservative people discussing their stories and exposing many of those stories for what they are.

Sounds sensible. But it’s more likely based on their belief that people will pay to see their content.
Not even if Hell freezes over tonight.
And as far as Gannett newspapers
They are so broke that they will vanish from this earth in a short period of time. I plan on bidding on some of their equipment in Louisville,Ky soon. They just killed their printing operations here a couple weeks ago. It will feel good to pay pennies on the dollar for some equipment.

What is the problem with The Washington Standard? I can’t find anything on why articles from it cannot be posted.

Prayers up for Jim.

Nothing worth linking to the Curious Urinal (Louisville) anyway.

The problem is that the rationale for some of the entities on the list is no longer applicable.

For example, there’s a strict ban on posting Gannet material; only links and titles are allowed.

At the time the post was originally made, the Army Times Publishing Company was part of Gannet, having been purchased by them in 1997.

However, Gannet sold off a bunch of properties in 2015; Army Times Publishing Company (now known as Sightline Media Group) was bought by Tegna, after which it was sold a private equity firm named Regent.

So the Gannet prohibition no longer applies to, say, the Marine Corps Times...because they’re no longer owned by Gannet.

I decided I didn’t want to spend the rest of my live in depositions and court hearings, etc.

Now that I understand.... but one would think that there is enough settled case law already that has dealt with this issue in clear way, no?

How do you get to the “printer friendly” version of an article?

Jim, would it be possible to put a link to this list in a prominent place, like at the top of the “Posting new thread” screen?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This entire thing sounds like an administrative boondoggle that just wastes a lot of time for you but also every poster. I’m wondering if there is a way to avoid this by automating the process (and if some of this is already happening, I apologize)..... It might take some effort and perhaps the time has passed for some of this but let’s assume that we’re back in time at a place before any media complained. On the FreeRepublic homepage, there is a note that says that on this site, anything and everything is allowed to be posted and here are the rules for how FR will do that..... but if an original source doesn’t like how things are being posted (reposted), then they can select a category that is structured around specific posting rules (along the lines of what you posted today). I assume that to a large extent, this is what has happened already. Anyway, with the onus on the complainant media, their organization’s wishes are then filed accordingly and automatically on FreeRepublic so that if any Freeper after that point in time wants to post a link or whatever from that organization, the category and rules for that organization are flagged and immediately come up so that the Freeper doing the posting doesn’t even have to think about it or go search to see what category the media in question is in. All this would take some effort to set up but doesn’t sound all that complicated....

Do you have details on this? How long ago was this?

That post by JimRob is 18 years old.

Best Reader View is available for those wishing to avoid the mandatory log in.

Ctrl/p is a universal key stroke to get into print the article.

Hope this helps.
