Updated FR Excerpt and Link Only or Deny Posting List due to Copyright Complaints

Note: Don't post anything at all from the Las Vegas Review Journal or anything from organizations run by Stevens Media, LLC or RightHaven, LLC until the lawsuit brought against us by them is resolved.

Here's an updated alphabetical list of the sites that have complained about copyright violations thus far. The posting program will only allow excerpts and or deny posting where designated from the following sites:

These sites must be excerpted and linked only [300 words or less, 1/2 the words or less for short articles]:

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

Received another letter from Gannett Publications, publisher of USAToday, and several other newspapers. Due to contractual arrangements they have with third-party content providers, they have denied our request to allow posting of excerpts. They will only allow the posting of titles and links.

Please do not post full text or even excerpts from the following Gannett Web sites:

All material from the Associated Press must be excerpted regardless of source (very brief excerpts). AP photos are not allowed.

Photographs, pictures, images, graphs etc may not be posted if the websites are on the lists or added in any of the posts below.

Conservatives took a discarded media venue(am radio) and capitalized on it. From there FOX demostrated the conservative message was a profitable one. Now the bastion of the liberal elite acadamia, the internet(used to be only
availible to those on campuses)is being used to expose the bias in the printed word. We are gaining ground every day.

Maybe it is time to require all articles to be excerpted just so the morons won't have a reason to get their panties in a wad.

I'd say we've arrived. I don't plan on posting another whole article.

Jim - Foxnews????? I've just become a conspiracy theorist!! I don't think I have linked ANY articles lately and will refrain from doing so. So much for freedom.

Question to any and all...............

If an article appears on a website not listed here, can it be used, even if it also appears on one that is listed here?????

For example, I have read many an article in the News Journal (www.delawareonline.com)(not on the list) that also appeared in the Baltimore Sun (on the list)...........Am I permitted to use the link to the Delaware paper????

Sorry, we cannot post full text for any articles that appeared in any of these publications listed, regardless of where else it may be sourced.

I'm just stunned that this is happening suddenly. Political wouldn't explain Fox News as we all like Fox. Can they do this to one site and not others? Sometimes I wish I was a lawyer!!

Can they enforce that?

To (mis)paraphrase Stalin, "how many divisions do they have?"

Thanks Fox News, especially since FreeRepublic.com helped to make you #1! I thought they were the good guys too. I think I will start watching HGTV or the home shopping channels. Maybe I'll start getting all of my news from FR and tune all of them out. I'm sick of the media elites.

See Post 253.

To: All

Funny, another website where I'm a member has people posting messages all the time that contain the entire article from many of the sites that are whining about Free Republic. I decided to see if they cared about a site that is primarily an anti-U.S. and anti-Bush. Whenever people posted articles from the L.A. Slimes or Washington Compost I would report it to whichever paper it came from.

So far, there has not been any complaints from either paper and people continue to post the full articles.

And why is this?
