They're suing the people that did that.
Polite communication between site operators can clear up 99% of these things with no hassles.
It's certainly obvious that you just don't get it.
You obviously didn't read my entire post.
I made it clear that in my humble opinion this particular situation is nothing more than a shake-down and should be a criminal offense (if I had my way about it). I was making a blanket statement outside of that in the defense of the folks trying to provide you with free news. I stand in full support of most of the DEFENDANTS in these cases; although I am unfamiliar with a lot of them. There are some that were probably in violation of this basic courtesy... Here on FR, it is rare to see a complete article posted and the admins have designed it in a way that the external and original source should be linked... On FR at least, it's done the right way.
My point is we shouldn't support people reposting articles anymore than we support folks redistributing music files. Not one time did I suggest the defendants in these cases were guilty of it. Even Mr Robinson points out that the system to avoid such things is in place and he cooperates with such requests 100% of the time. This is the simple communication I referenced.
Take your filters off and read my previous post again. Regardless if you are willing to accept it, I have read the articles and understand exactly what is going on, Sir.
Are they not claiming that the entire articles were posted in some cases?
