Don't think I needed to be informed by Brian or anyone else of the risk. You do not go around bucking the status quo without taking some risk. I risked it all long before I ever heard of Brian Buckley. I was advised, however, that what we are doing on FR is perfectly legal and that we should win, even if we have go all the way to the Supreme Court. This was declared by my attorney many times in interviews, panel discussions, and even in his own postings on this website. Hell, my attorney even posted full text articles here himself. Yes, I am fully aware of the risk and so is he.

Bump for a great leader. I hope I can meet you someday.

Ain't no thang, Jim! They push, we push-back, harder!

It's a great thing that you started here, pal. It also helps to be half-crazy. When I got out of the hospital after my last heart-procedure, I drove to Miami the next day to Freep algore! I was going 130 mph when part of the windshield moulding flew-off, and I had to slow down to 90! The Freep was important!

Keep-on with the 'Free Republic' purpose threads, and try to recover the ancient threads, even if-only for-sale on CD's. Bob Ireland is nuts for the original postings.

WRITE THE BOOK, DAMMIT!!

Stay well, my friend, and may God Bless You and Your Family with a Merry Christmas!........FRegards, Barry/gonzo...

Jim,

I will grant you that a lot of confident assurances were made on the board and elsewhere. I assumed that was for the benefit of rallying the troops.

I guess I would be surprised if Clarity didn't express private concerns to you about the unlikelihood of prevailing on the full text/fair use issue. Could it be that you wanted to pursue it and he went along with your wishes? Or perhaps he just wanted to try the case and you went along with him? Did he tell you privately that you would win?
