Crying theft, unfair competition and intellectual property rights, The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times have filed suit against Free Republic.

While they happily steal government documents to boost their bottom line.

As both sides are armed with strong and persuasive rhetoric, the issue is exacerbated by the fact that Free Republic is a nonprofit movement. All of its funding comes from private donations. Therefore, there is soundness in the Freepers' assertion that they are not stealing the articles for commercial gain but rather passing them around to educate and illuminate each other on issues of immediate relevancy.

Which reminds me, I'm going to send you a donation in the next couple of days.....

I've become a dissident, so might as well become a militant!

When I go out there on the streets of the USA, armed with my posters, there's nothing 'pseudo' about it!

I was wondering what else Ms. McDonald was going to tag us with, but she surprised me and seemed to have a handle on what was going on. However, her doom/gloom bit on our 'structure' was off. Our foundation was not built on the pleasure of the Times or Post.
