Looks to me like the latest anti-conservative attack strategy of the liberals. they hate Rush, Savage and the others on the radio, they hate Fox on TV and they hate us on the web. Well, their loss. Any site that requires registration to read the full article, I don't bother with.

Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya... as if I'd ever register to read some their crap anyway.

Exactly. As fast as the readership of some of these crappy papers and newsmags is declining, I wouldn't think they could afford to be alientating any potential readers.

Look at that list... hardly any conservative papers. That's says A LOT.

Yep....and I guess they want to make sure no one perceives them that way. I don't think they have any worries about that.

Jim Robinson: "These publishers have asked us not to allow any material at all to be posted to FR."

Mudboy Slim: "Can they enforce that?"

FairOpinion: "They can't dictate to us, not to use an excerpt or discuss their articles."

Certainly, those publishers can't be relying on the copyright laws for this. What's up with that, Jim?

CHAPTER 9. Fair Use

Fair use is a copyright principle based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials forpurposes of commentary and criticism. For example, if you wish to criticize a novelist, you should have the freedom to quote a portion of the novelist's work without asking permission. Absent this freedom, copyright owners could stifle any negative comments about their work.

Unfortunately, if the copyright owner disagrees with your fair use interpretation, the dispute will have to be resolved by courts or arbitration. If it's not a fair use, then you are infringing upon the rights of the copyright owner and may be liable for damages.
