Won’t be illegal if you have permission to link.

HuffPo will get permission.

FreeRepublic will not.

We may soon need a Freeper re-write team.
The actual news cannot be copyrighted...just the text of a news item.

FreeRepublic will not.

FR drives a massive amount of traffic to sites and that means ad revenue for said sites.

FR will easily get permission.

And it must be an exact match of the text.

How about introducing typos, different font, or a ‘cipher’, kind of like the experiment where you leave the vowels out of a text. It is still readable.

Or spell each word backwards. Might be readable, or use an ‘app’ to un-back it.

Dang, better close up all those loopholes (and I don’t mean democrats’ and republicans’ body parts).
