I was afraid that this was inevitable. One problem I forsee is that other sites that are under the radar, unlike FR, will post full text articles at their websites and then we will be forced to read the rest of articles at that site instead of the original source.

I just excerpt by default and that way there is no error. If it is a site that I don’t want to get any hits, I just don’t post. If what I post is of interest to some, then further reading is a mouse-click away.

Jim, are you ignoring me? There have been a few threads where we are listing our dream presidential candidate. I listed you. You would be awesome. A true conservative’s conservative. I know that you have better things to do, but a gal can dream. LOL. Have a great day!

Allowing excerpts only ought to accommodate all of those outfits who are trying to make an Internet buck.

It is always a simple matter to just hit the top link bar in order to read the entire article which is what I usually do anyhow.

This article should make your head explode.

NFL Pulls Plug On Big-Screen Church Parties For Super Bowl

Excerpt:
The NFL said, however, that the copyright law on its games is long-standing and the language read at the end of each game is well known: “This telecast is copyrighted by the NFL for the private use of our audience. Any other use of this telecast or any pictures, descriptions, or accounts of the game without the NFL’s consent is prohibited.”

The league bans public exhibitions of its games on TV sets or screens larger than 55 inches because smaller sets limit the audience size. The section of federal copyright law giving the NFL protection over the content of its programming exempts sports bars, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said.

Will do! I’m sorry for the stress that this stuff must cause you, Jim. Letters from lawyers are never fun to receive.

Thanks for everything you do to keep FR going strong. :) G-d bless you and yours!

Excerpts. I hate them

And I don’t understand why so many original sources would want Free Republic to excerpt thier articles.

Often times, when I or other FReepers have to excerpt an article we cut and paste. We - snip - out sections to make that under 300 word requirement.

In other words we edit.

Do these morons in the MSM really want us FReeprs editing their copyrighted material? Cause that’s what we do.

Our excerpt and link list is growing (click link above) and I'm afraid it's just a matter of time until we're going to have to require excerpting on all posts.

Updated FR Excerpt and Link Only or Deny Posting List due to Copyright Complaints

Link and excerpt is one thing. I think the ones who insist that we not quote them at all (or in rare cases, even cite them) are idiots. They’re actually using copyright in a way that brings DOWN traffic to their sites.

But they’re liberals, so I don’t expect them to be intelligent.

We’d best practice up on our “book report” skills.

i WONDER if we could proactively approach some of the more conservative folks and publications and ask them or express blanket permission to post full articles WITH the link to their sites?

Thanks for all you do for us and for our Republic.

Why don’t news sites want FR to post their stories? I can kind of see how they wouldn’t want the whole story, so that you have to go to their site to read the rest and they get the hits, but how does it help them to forbid it completely? Won’t they just end up being ignored?
