Are other news commentary sites, such as DU, LP, L.com, etc. having to comply with these same restrictions?

I'm not sure about those sewers, but I do know of one Lefty site that posts full-text, with no repercussions.

I realize it might not fit under any kind of "equal protection" issue

. . . but

LAWYERS . . . ISN'T THERE SOME EQUAL TREATMENT SOMETHING that could be pursued vis a vis such lopsided press treatments?

This is not any kind of free press such as I've ever construed it!

Another site (which is mostly populated by anti-Bush liberals and anti-U.S. Eurotrash) where I'm a member allows posting of full articles as long as the author and publication are given credit and a link is provided to the site from which it came. I've reported this to the Washington Compost and LA Slimes but so far neither site has done anything about it.

I'll start reporting them if any of these sites are used and we'll see what happens. Somehow I don't think anything will come of it.

I don't know for sure either. I thought several others were, and I know if one does a Google search for a specific article, usually it can be found on dozens of sites - whether they've all asked for and received permission to post it I don't know.

I guess I was wondering if those sites were doing something like requesting permission that FR had not yet done, or if so far they are just flying below the radar.

If we don't link to them, honestly how are they ever going to know? Just paraphrase their stupid stories, and don't attribute.

Obviously they have had an eye on FR. Can't see why they wouldn't check back from time to time. JimRob should be free of legal hassles over this. The moderators are going to have their hands full trying to keep Gannett's alligators in their swamps.

Common Dreams, right?
