Ok, we will lift the boycott against AP, but if you post AP material, be sure to stay within the "fair use" parameters. And the courts still have not defined fair use. Each case stands on its own. The way I understand it, we are allowed to quote from copyrighted material for news reporting and education purposes as long as we're not adversely impacting the copyright holder's market for their product.

So if we follow FR excerpt limits....we’re good to go?
Thanks....

as we're not adversely impacting the copyright holder's market for their product. Is exposing the author of an AP story as either a liar or a fool considered to be "adversely impacting the copyright holder's market"?

So if we follow FR excerpt limits....were good to go?Looks like it will have be even tighter than the normal excerpt limits - first two sentences, not first two or three paragraphs.

I’d return the favor and start demanding shares of the revenue for directing traffic to their stories.

Sorry for the dumb question, but what does “fair us” parameters mean?

It appears that “Fair” is within the eye of the beholder (or whomever has the cleverest lawyer$$$).

While we are on the subject, any chance of getting a list of banned sources and excerpt only sources linked to the side bar? I’m seeing Getty images often.
The thread that is always referenced when this is brought up is unwieldy to use.

Here, check this out. Issue resolved.
I had merely sought to satisfy your overwhelming need for information about how we were handling AP.
But no, you wanted to take that as a personal attack.
Doesn't sound to me like you have the temperament yet to deal with serious matters of state. Maybe you should go back to Obama's staff!

The Web sites can copy and publish only headlines and the first paragraph from AP stories provided to them by the news service.
All stories used by the Web sites must be attributed to their original sources and include a copyright notice and link to the original work. Jim, am I reading this correctly regarding AP stories, where we can only post the headline and the first paragraph of the AP story? I see no problem with a putting a link to the story as we already do that, but what about the copyright notice?
