Great catch! Thanks for the ping!

Should I break out the CNN screen grab into it's own thread? Compare CNN's "fair use" of FR materials vs FNC using the logo during their recent stories:


CNN just took a whole page off someone's computer vs. FNC just had the logo as attribution.

If I remember correctly, FR got in a bunch of legal trouble for less with the NYT, LAT, and WAPO.

I really don't know - it's a question for Jim Robinson. Both the FoxNews channel and the CNN screen image have the Free Republic logo. And I don't know whether CNN ever complained about copyrights and excerpts.

Also, the most recent posts page does not include a copyright notice on the content, just the software.

But it would be a delicious irony to be able to complain about the same thing to one of those who complained to Free Republic!
