But what’s the rule for Yahoo? If somebody writes something and then sells it to Yahoo or AP, I don’t think they can release their own material here in full because they no longer own it.
We had a guy, Bob L-something who is on OC Register staff (paid) who would post stuff here in excerpt from OC Register. They own it, not him, so does he have to post his blog in its entirety here to pass your rules?
There is not a rule, nor is it mine.
Posting excerpts here to drive traffic to a blog is scummy all by itself.
