The full document will be posted as soon as we get it all scanned in and uploaded. I've also signed up for a Pacer account, so hopefully I will be able to obtain an electronic copy as soon as I receive my password (assuming they have the document on file). The password is coming via snail mail.

OK Jim, but it's their loss. In case they haven't noticed, most of the readers are conservatives and most conservatives are Freepers. They don't get posted here, they become irrelevant.

Forgive me if I am misinterpreting this but, just by listing some of these "publications" you are giving court-ordered free advertising to something noone has heard of and most likely will never hear of again? *G* You'll let us know as the letters of commendation come in?

Thank you for taking the brunt of all of this!

Wow, these SOB's own a lot of crap. Didn't realize it was this much.

Gosh - Look at how many media outlets actually comprise the LATimes and the Compost...So much for a free press. Do you think the Founders ever envisioned a press conglomerate such as we see today?

A few individuals control the media - which allows them to control what information us "common folk" have access to and to spin that which they allow us to see in any manner they want.

Sure do wish this had gone all the way to SCOTUS.

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

Only liberal communistic rags would seek to shield themselves from the light of the truth.

So they get a little less free publicity. Their loss.

Thanks for the info.

Is there any way to have the "preview" button put up a "red flag" whenever one of their many publications is used? It sounds like a long list, and you already have the preview set up to flag on missing items. Can it flag on inappropriate sources?

[RedWing9]

FYI

sorry if you've already seen this, I'm just cut&pasting...

[Illbay]

Are there any more far-reaching implications?

[cascademountaineer]

Very Cool.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Can the full list of prohibited periodicals be placed at the top of the posting box as a reminder? I can remember LATimes and Wash. Post, but all of these new periodicals are going to be hard to remember.

[American Preservative]

FYI ping.

[GulliverSwift]

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but wasn't the contention of Tribune and WPC that posting articles in their entirety deprived mainly harmed them by depriving them of potential ad revenues?

If this is the case, the solution is not to just do excerpts but to use the tag which can be rendered in every modern Web browser, including text-only browsers. Now granted there are people out there still using Netscape 4.x however, with the founding of the Mozilla project and its derivatives including Netscape 6/7, these freepers can upgrade their browser for free. The resource requirements are no more stringent for the newer Mozilla-based browsers than for the archaic Netscape 4.x. (The Opera Web browser also runs quite nicely on legacy hardware, too.)

That being said, if we used here, we would most likely add impressions for these sites since the entire content of the page including the ads would be displayed on each page, especially considering the fact that most freepers do not visit the sites in question. If these dumb liberal companies had any brains they'd have pushed for instead of excerpts.

The fact that would give more hits to these papers is about the only drawback I can see to my proposal. And with a "problem" like this, we could charge them for the free ads this way ;)
