WHAT THE HELL.. what MODERATOR is removing text for a PUBLIC TEXT TRANSCRIPT?????
Jim you need to get your mods under control, this is rediculous.
Doesn’t matter if the TRANSCRIPT is at USA TODAY or CSPAN.. its a PUBLIC SPEECH TRANSCRIPT, not a COPYRIGHTABLE DOCUMENT OWNED BY THE PAPER PUBLISHER!
Wow, excellent point.
As a publisher of a newspaper, your post is quite right.
The transcript is part of the public record and is not subject to copyright law.
