Because if Jim can't reach somekind of an agreement then FR as we know and love it is finished. How many lawyer do you think Jim can fight off, plus the copy right laws are clearly against us. So we need to make a deal, one that works for FR and one that works for the content providers.

This is all about money, or more exactly hits on their web site. FR can deliever alot of hits so it is in the interest of the content providers to make a deal and get the hits. So we have to put up with a ad in each thread that the content providers provide, big deal, they get the hits we get the article. I can live with that an I am sure most freepers can too.

Hey it's not my call so I really don't know what will happen.

This isn't about money or copyright. This is about politics.

FR is becoming a bigger "fish" in the ocean.

Also left wing websites are being caught violating campaign finance laws. This is how they push back.

Unable to compete in the marketplace of ideas, they are reduced to pulling the plug.
