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.

Isn't that considered plagiarism copying other content and posting as their own? As well as copyright infringement? Show em da BOOT!
