Brian stated that we (Brian was a poster too) on Free Republic are operating squarely within our rights under the U.S. Constitution and the fair use provisions of Copyright Law. He volunteered his pro bono legal services to Free Republic and me personally and vowed to never, ever surrender, and that we would continue fighting the good fight until victory!

Jim,

Did you not understand the risk you were taking by taking such an agressive posture on full-text posting and fair use? Did Brian not explain this to you?

Just wondering.

Don't think I needed to be informed by Brian or anyone else of the risk. You do not go around bucking the status quo without taking some risk. I risked it all long before I ever heard of Brian Buckley. I was advised, however, that what we are doing on FR is perfectly legal and that we should win, even if we have go all the way to the Supreme Court. This was declared by my attorney many times in interviews, panel discussions, and even in his own postings on this website. Hell, my attorney even posted full text articles here himself. Yes, I am fully aware of the risk and so is he.
