Bump
You really think that you are the first to have thought of or written any or all of that stuff?
Wow.
Can you just copyright something as easily as that?
I’m truly curious,not objecting to anything.
Yeah, that is all it takes for a simple copyright.
Defending and enforcing it is another matter alltogether.
First time I’ve ever seen a copyrighted screed ‘published as a post on FR though.
Yes, you can copyright something simply by stating that it is copyrighted.
Since the whole area of original content is brand new on FreeRepublic, I am sure that we will develop a standard wording. My purpose in writing the attribution section was so that:
1)FR is not blamed for my opinions and 2)FR is attributed as the source site, which is one of the purposes of the original content category.
As I understand it, the original content idea is to allow FReepers the ability to express their opinions, and if they are cited by others on the web, the profile of FR as a content generator, rather than solely a news discussion site, is enhanced.
There is a lot of talent here on FR that can be used to advance the cause of conservatism.
I’m sure many Freepers have similar ideas, but I expressed them myself with my own words, so this is my content.
Please consider using spell check, then. If you wish to have this information and opinion spread widely it is a good idea to have things spelled properly.
Thanks—and love your tagline.
Thanks to both of you.
Well, if that copyright notice is some new FR Policy, then my apologies and “Carry On!”.
Not having seen such around here before, I thought it somewhat arrogant. Perhaps I was wrong.
Thanks for the bump.
LHI, it is not policy. I did that because this is a new idea, the idea of original content, a little bit of uncharted territory for FR.
I think we will have to develop a standard wording for this tyope of article that is generated here, rather than from another source. This is just my attempt to move the football down the field. I’m sure this will evolve as time goes by.
I don’t think it arrogant to protect your own work or FR.
Excellent!
I don’t necessarily agree with you on your conclusions, but this was well written and you presented your case admirably.
Good job!
Thank you, A. Hun , for your encouragement.
Is this what you are doing? Just wondering...

A very well-stated and timely message, exit82. The next month will indeed be very telling as to the direction our liberty takes.
Do a user search on that handle and see what you come up with.
