Got it.
No posting from greedy dirt bags. What gets me is, why do these sue happy pigs put every social networking site under the sun under "share and save with their "copyrighted" stories? Am I missing something here? Brian

OK...gotcha.
Now for a dumb question. It's a newspaper, not a novel. They're 'reporting' the news, not writing a book. I would think it would be difficult to sue over something in a newspaper, unless it was misquoted..but I guess I'm missing something.

Scam artists, sue happy and they have found a gold mine.
Forget their articles and let 'em fall on their face. It cost 'em $40 to copywrite an article, let 'em go broke. |

Thanks for the heads up.
I have to wonder about images from these articles? It just dawned on my a couple minutes ago that I posted an image from one of the major online news services in the General Pictures section last week. If you think that will cause any problems, please take it down. There are some fools in this world that seem to get off trying to make the rest of us miserable. Won't work with me. |

Will for sure follow the rules Pogo.
But something is wrong here.
While I can understand copy-rite infringements. Which is, I would guess, what he is basing his lawsuits on. If these lawsuits are not contested and are allowed to stand. This attorney is about to change the course of history and our whole constitution. Almost ever news broadcast starts out with "It was reported today in newspaper X that the Dow is down." Etc. I am sure, this attorney, has attracted the attention of all major broadcasting companies. Law suits work both ways. Someone is going to jump on this guy big time. That paper and that attorney are playing with fire. Any story they print "quoting someone" without their permission. Has opened "them" up too a lawsuit. Have a feeling, this attorney has started a fire, to gain short term cash and fame. He is going too sue the wrong person and get slapped back to whatever hole he crawled out of. What is happening too America and our constitution. Soon we are all going to have too say. "Now dont quote me on this. But I think I heard a rumor that someone, I forget their name, told me something big happened in Washington today." Unless someone does something with this guy and soon. Which I am guessing will happen. America will soon become a land of "no speak."

this was discussed at another forum and it was decided that a lead in sentence followed by the link would be enough. the problem seems to come from someone posting the bulk if not all of the piece without any acknowledgment.
i tend not to forward a bunch of stuff anyway. |

This is about controlling the dissemination of information on the net. They don't want Breibart or even any of us reporting what is being published around the world and therefore can control who hears the message and how it is presented.
Test case for "net neutrality" I say. Pretty soon we'll just be sitting around talking about the guns we used to have and trying to figure out how Obama got elected president for life.
