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]:

All McClatchy sources must be excerpted and linked.

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

05/06/04 -

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:

GANNETT NEWSPAPERS ON THE WEB:

We will eventually add a link to this list from our posting program. In the meantime, you can find it by searching on "copyright list."


In addition to all of the above, do not post articles written by Maralyn Lois Polak per her copyright complaint. Her column usually appears on WorldNetDaily.

Also, do not post images from Corbis or Getty.

Thanks,

Jim

This is exactly my question. How does one find the original source for the information once it is available on the Internet? I could be inadvertently be guilty of copy write infringement anytime I use any information from the internet. I have no way to know if the information is from a copy writ source. I have had things emailed to me and no one is giving me any sources.

For that matter, it's the Internet and we should not have to worry about the sources.

Who else is going to be hit with copy write infringement. Would they come after my son who thought it might be easier to throw in a paragraph on his term paper that was word for word from a internet site? How many of us have done that? Would they start writing laws that required teachers to turn in students they found had used copy writ material?

This process has already started. Our local public high school requires students to run major term papers though turnitin.com, which specializes in "online plagiarism prevention."

To excerpt from its web site (yes, in less than 100 words!): "

Any text in the paper that is found by our system to be unoriginal appears underlined, color-coded, and linked to its original source. All work submitted to Turnitin is checked against three databases of content:

1. Both a current and extensively archived copy of the publicly accessible Internet (more than 4.5 billion pages updated at a rate of 40 million pages per day);

2. Millions of published works, including the ProQuest commercial database, ABI/Inform, Periodical Abstracts, Business Dateline, and tens of thousands of electronic books including ... Literary Classics;

3. Millions of student papers already submitted to Turnitin."

A copy of the analysis from this site must be turned in with the term paper.

That third database really annoys me. My children are FORCED to GIVE a copy of their own, original work to this company so that future submissions can be matched against what my children have written. It is rather chilling to have the immature ramblings of teenagers be archived like this! Will their words be held against them forty years from now?

Post #402 may be of interest to those on the list. 

The public school plagiarism Nazis are hard at work.

they already have "spiders" working the internet looking for blocks of text as small as four or five "ordered" keywords, to try and ferret out businesses they can afford to sue for phony copyright violations... and to shrink the size even further on what qualifies as usable via the "fair use" doctrine.

They don't even have to sue the big boyz... they can blackmail them to "avoid" litigation over what is on their website.

you do it on a small private website, and you will skate..
quote somebody important on a blog run by hewlitt packard, and they threaten HP with a lawsuit, just to get money from the "deep pockets" of the corporation...

yes... the trial lawyers are doing that.
As the industry builds its mechanism for web based lawsuits and blackmail scams, it will become increasingly cost effective for them to sue more and more of the little guys too... as the cost per suit or "legalized blackmail" via the deprecated "fair use" copyright laws of longstanding, goes down to pennies a hit....

"you used three words from our article, please use the paypal button to donate $50.79 for using the "partial" article on your 'information blog,' or consider that you might face litigation over your violation of copyright...

Yes. This is the fallout from RIAA, the DCMA and the phony "file sharing" lawsuits, used as a trojan horse to insert a very large LEGAL INVASION force.. into the internet.

since riaa is probably now a "trademarked" acronymn... we will eventually be sued at the law, for even discussing them by name... "that will be 500 dollars please.. or else!"

yes.

I guess that means you don't have a problem with students turning in work they've cut and pasted directly off the internet?

They actually fear that we may be able to think for ourselves.

I DO have a problem with plagiarism, but I have a bigger problem with students being required to submit their work to a potential Big Brother-type entity, to be saved for eternity on some unknown computer system.

What if the student writes an opinion in a paper, and later in life, when his opinions and views may have changed, this former opinion is held against him when he goes to apply for a job? Have your views and opinions changed since you were in high school? I know mine sure have. That comes with maturity as well as with experience.

One of the big problems with today's society is that we want everyone to be perfect and follow all of the rules, as well as to put systems into place to ensure that the rules are followed. While ideally we should all should strive to be model citizens, pragmatically it isn't going to happen, since we are humans. There will be a few that try to break the rules, but the majority that follow the rules shouldn't have to bear the burden for those that break them.

It might be easier if FR just listed the publications that CAN be excerpted or linked. What are we down to now, about two?

For some reason, the first thing that popped into my mind was Hillary Rodham's paper from Wellesley that many people here thought ought to be made public.

I resent our fourteen year olds having to consider how their ideas might look when they are forty years older and running for office. And I resent this commercial site getting and archiving my child's intellectual property for free.

Isn't that what this whole thread is about? The right to control access to your own writings? If reporters do not want to give us access to their thoughts and opinions, they don't have to print or post them. But the public school system MANDATES my child's term papers be submitted to this company.
