I have seen several of their posts and read, usually with much agreement, the articles after following a link to the site.
This is unfortunate. But clearly if someone posted the entire copyrighted content without permission they not only violated FR rules, but the copyright law.
We cannot allow other media to control the fundamental mission of FR either.
A necessary decision we should honor.
Yeah, agreed, we should respect property rights, but the guy didn’t need to threaten a natural ally (FR)!
Well, the funny thing is our moderators noticed they were violating the copyrights of publishers who had asked us to restrict our posters to excerpts only. They were posting full text on their site, claiming fair use, and then posting an excerpt on FR with a link back to their blog site. Our moderators asked them to link to the original source if they were going to do that, and they refused. Now we get threats. Effem.
