[Jonah Johansen]

It is my understanding that you can always publish something such as [ ... the new York Times reports "Pentagon sources are plannning Bosnian troop reductions starting in early June..." ] without violating any ones copyright. In this way you can legally publish a shprt excerpt.

[petitfour]

Maybe Google is one of the contractual obligations these papers have made. Google, with AlGore on the Board, is going to control the flow of internet information. Maybe it's just a vast left wing conspiracy to prevent the ease of information critiquing.

Regardless, Gannett has made a huge mistake.

[petitfour]

Have you seen this? No excerpts from the Clarion-Ledger can be posted on FR. Only the link and title of article.

[Republic]

They did.

Won't be picking up any USA Today's anymore. That is for sure.

And the Indy Star is gone, too.

I guess there is no law in paraphrasing-so after the title is set-an accurate rendition of the story will have to do. Right? I would not link to their stories for anything now-it will only help their online revenues. Won't do that. Ever.

[LouD]

Aren't excerpts covered under fair use?

[Cold Heat]

LOL! what will eventually happen is that potions of these stories will end up posted as replies with no attributions at all.

I would like to see how they tackle that?

What are they to do?

Ban cut and paste?

[kjam22]

I like that idea. They gonna read the entire web looking for someone who plagarized them with cut and paste?

Here's a link to Gannett's home web site.

http://www.gannett.com/index.html

Pretty big company.

[Cold Heat]

Google just went public

Not yet.

Just filed the intention to.

It will be at least six months or so.

[Cold Heat]

Pretty big company.

Yeah, I once worked for them. LOL!(Pensacola News Journal)

[kjam22]

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?

[Cold Heat]

No excerpting? How about paraphrasing (with accreditation).

How about paraphrasing with no attribution.

Rewrite, cut and paste and totally screw the story with some democrat sarcasm.

LOL!

[snooker]

Is there anyway to automate google cache searching?

Do you know how the google cache works? how long articles stay there? Links?

The way to go might be to just use google as the link.

[kjam22]

Or better yet.. just use the little "email this article to a friend" link that most of these sites have.

[pghkevin]

Damn, and in coming from PA I was really hoping to use those articles in the Clipper Magazine.....

[From The Deer Stand]

Can't you "refer" to an article in the XYZ newspaper without actually printing an excerpt? For example, "According to an article in the xxxxx it was stated that......"

[Cold Heat]

I do see how they could do it. Law suits are expensive to defend against.

They just file them and Jim has to defend.

What I think they cannot do is sue if someone paraphrases the article in a reply and gives no title or attribution.

Since no names are mentioned, a judge is not likely to accept a case that someone read a article and then talked to someone else about it via cut and paste.

We do this all the time, but it sure would complicate matters as far as search and duplicates.

This prohibition on excerpts needs to go to federal court for a judgment.

Perhaps we can begin a special legal fund and build it up over time to bring this to court.

The prohibition basically turns us into a chat room, and they know it.

[WKB]

Have you seen this? No excerpts from the Clarion-Ledger can be posted on FR. Only the link and title of article.



No I had not seen that. Thank you very much.
Lord what WILL I do for news now.
90% of is lies anyway. :>)

It is my thinking this is all about advertising.
They don't care that we read it just so we see those
ads an infernal pop ups.
Thanks again I really do appreciate it.

[Just another Joe]

We're really causing problems for someone, aren't we?

Why is FR receiving this type of attention from such a LARGE number of publications?
Who really cares if we publish an excerpt from the "Muskogee Daily Phoenix and Times-Democrat"?

This is BS and needs to be brought to the attention of some conservative media people.

I think I'll find out if anyone pays attention.

Could you FReepmail me a complete list of all publications that FR is barred from reproducing?

[Cold Heat]

Can't you "refer" to an article in the XYZ newspaper without actually printing an excerpt? For example, "According to an article in the xxxxx it was stated that......"

Exactly!

[Cold Heat]

Or better yet.. just use the little "email this article to a friend" link that most of these sites have.

LOL! then link the e-mail address to the post function.

That would be a great legal argument. IMO.
