Nonsense. Posting one or two articles from their site does not impact their hits when they have dozens of other articles not of interest here plus sports, classified, movie schedules and you name it on their sites. In fact, with Freepers surfing all over the net for news to post here, this place drives their total hits up, not down.
This suit is political, not commercial. We made the Post and Times look very bad here by exposing their bias and shoddy journalism. That is what scares them, not losing hits on their web site.
That's as cogent a summary as I have seen. Absolutely agree with you.
In the FWIW department, just my personal opinion- when the ability was gained to digitize and shoot over a phone line ( or satellite link ) virtually anything printed, copywrite law died. It just hasn't laid down yet.
