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.
I would like to see how they tackle that?
What are they to do?
Ban cut and paste?
Here's a link to Gannett's home web site.

Pretty big company.
Not yet.
Just filed the intention to.
It will be at least six months or so.
Yeah, I once worked for them. LOL!(Pensacola News Journal)
How about paraphrasing with no attribution.
Rewrite, cut and paste and totally screw the story with some democrat sarcasm.
LOL!
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.
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?
Exactly!
LOL! then link the e-mail address to the post function.
That would be a great legal argument. IMO.
