I understand the concept of copyrights. But don’t these news sources realize that by us posting their stories, their websites are getting a wider potential audience? They only need to get their advertising deals in line so they can get paid.

Wow this sounds like one small time shake down operation.

Hungry sharks trolling for victims.

I wonder where the money is coming from for all these lawsuits?

Its clear what the purpose is and that is to put fear into anyone looking to share an article or comment on a published story.

Ping, here is another one. You may find the bulk of this article of interest, especially the ways all the other sites are fighting this.

Is it me or does this Steven Gibson ass have a striking resemblance to Lewis Skolnick from the “Revenge Of The Nerds” movies?
