FYI, I am an intellectual property attorney. Drudge to my knowledge violates no copyright law or, in my humble opinion, any fair trade or trademark law. Methinks this is nonsense.
I appreciate your personal and professional opinion on this issue.
However, legality and constitutionality doesn’t seem to have quite the sway these days.
The White House is orchestrating this copyright review in hopes of stealth resurrection of the FAIR act / SOPA, in my humble opinion.
Also note related concurrent global efforts such as TPP (Asia) and counterpart EU copyright law review of online Internet IP that would adversely impact news article content sharing.
Governments would relish controlling dissemination of comprehensive news and inconvenient content under the guise of protecting IP, even if it has a sude effect of killing off news content creators. News outlets will gladly be leaned on by gov’t to support the certainty of a copyright scheme securing their IP content.
Look at how many Healthcare providers supported Obama care which subsequently drove hospitals and doctor’s practices out of business, and has led to huge consolidation.
I agree with you. But, then again, courts have making such decisions.
Copyright law seems fairly stable, ironically partially thanks to FR's test case from years ago.
If the law changes drastically from Congress, there could be issues, but usually the target is entertainment more than the news.
