[Quix]

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

[Quix]

I realize it might not fit under any kind of "equal protection" issue

. . . but

LAWYERS . . . ISN'T THERE SOME EQUAL TREATMENT SOMETHING that could be pursued vis a vis such lopsided press treatments?

This is not any kind of free press such as I've ever construed it!

[Quix]

I STRONGLY AGREE. WE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO BRAINSTORM SOME CREATIVE OPTIONS IN CONFRONTING THIS ISSUE.

[texasbluebell]

What are they to do? Ban cut and paste?

If they could, they would. Shades of the USSR going on here.

[Quix]

Given the rabid craziness of such,

I wouldn't want to risk more than one sentence of such. And I'm not even sure that's safe.

What do you say, Jim?

[texasbluebell]

How about paraphrasing with no attribution. Rewrite, cut and paste and totally screw the story with some democrat sarcasm.

If we don't link to them, honestly how are they ever going to know? Just paraphrase their stupid stories, and don't attribute. Seems pretty simple. But really paraphrase or people will get harrassed over it.

[dixiechick2000]

Bummer...;o(

[Quix]

I think we have to be scrupulously careful.

These kommie idiots are rabid.

And I wouldn't want to even accidentally bring

ANY

hassle down on Jim.

--or FR.

[Sir Gawain]

Jim Rob pointed out that even if we have right and the law on our side, they still would drag him into court and the most likely path would be for this end up in the US Supreme Court.

So whatever happened to fighting for what you believe?

[texasbluebell]

Yes, that's paraphrasing, but don't use their words. Just put it carefully in your own words.

[COEXERJ145]

I'm not sure about those sewers, but I do know of one Lefty site that posts full-text, with no repercussions.

Another site (which is mostly populated by anti-Bush liberals and anti-U.S. Eurotrash) where I'm a member allows posting of full articles as long as the author and publication are given credit and a link is provided to the site from which it came. I've reported this to the Washington Compost and LA Slimes but so far neither site has done anything about it.

I'll start reporting them if any of these sites are used and we'll see what happens. Somehow I don't think anything will come of it.

[george wythe]

Shades of the USSR going on here.

It seems that the "Fair Doctrine" is a joke. How can anyone comment on an article without quoting brief excerpts?

[Sir Gawain]

So you cut and paste one of their articles into an email. You email it to someone you know (can you say 2nd screen name). Who posts it as an email that they received over the net. No link, nada. How could any court expect Jim or any any other similar operator to know that this article came from a Gannett web site?

Yep. Cite source as "email" and author "unknown". What can they do about it?

[Quix]

Given search features of the web

and the ruthlessness of the kommie idiots,

I think we must not be slippery at all.

If there is something that HAS CLEAR LEGAL PRECEDENT,

that would be one thing. But even for moderators to try and police the paraphrase stuff--would quickly be a nightmare.

Having taught English for 16 years, I don't trust very many people's ability to paraphrase much at all. Many haven't a clue what it means. We'd end up with wholesale quotes with a few minor changes and someone calling that a paraphrase.

[Quix]

It's probably too low a priority,

but isn't there a conservative legal group in DC. We ought to at least alert them.

[RetiredArmy]

Anything to SHUT US UP!! I will not be deterred. They can kiss my red white and blue @$$. The left will not shut me up.

[Quix]

I really don't think that would fly.

I don't think the issue is the route to FR but that it's on FR at all.

[Cold Heat]

They have us in a untenable position.

We cannot afford to defend against suits.

There is a way to post everything in an article without plagerizing and copying, but it requires a careful re-write.

Hard news articles are easy to paraphrase but editorial comment is not.

We will just have to do the best we can.

Print media is having a hard time and is protecting it's content while gleefully enjoying screwing with us.

We can't do anything about it now.

We do need to see if we can start some sort of legal fund, but that is difficult to do without someone claiming something, as I have seen in the past.

We will just have to roll with the flow until someone brings a case that clarifies this matter.

If we have to become a blogger site, then so be it!

[Quix]

I THINK THERE'S A LOT TO THAT.

THEY ARE HAVING TROUBLES KEEPING SUBSCRIBERS AS IS.

[Quix]

ASSUMING WE DO OUR JOB ON WINNING THE ELECTION. . .

IT SEEMS TO ME WE WOULD DO BEST TO GET THE LAW CHANGED to emphatically allow at least excerpts of X length.
