How did you post using Tonks handle?
I see it was one of his statements from way back.

“Is Free Republic a commercial operation or a charity?”
Or a state of mind?

Let’s go ahead and give credence to the bear and the tree. Yes it’s real.

I guess this was reposted due to questions after the last FAT.
It is true that you (Jim) don’t run FR with mind toward maximizing your income potential but just raise enough money to pay your bills, but for all other legal and practical considerations you are a for profit CA corporation.
There is no such thing as “not for profit” company. In regards to your exposure to a legal issues such as copyright infringement you will be treated almost the same as if you took advantage of every financial opportunity at your disposal (I say almost the same since you don’t have any assets to go after that may cause a potential plaintiff think twice or may be a mitigating factor in punitive damages). Income is income and it makes no difference whether that income is derived from sales, memberships or donations. It also would make no difference in determining if FR derived income from posting full sourced articles.
I’m not saying this to be negative but only to caution everyone about thinking that because FR operates as a “not for profit” for profit corporation that it gives it any legal leeway in how it needs to operate as a CA corporation. The courts will make no such distinction.

Why do you assume it was a repost?..... It looks to me like it was a bump of an old thread that has been dormant since 12/10/2001 until the poster in #84 bumped it back into the lastest comments segment....

Which is true of all the people who have never supported FR financially. Unfortunately, that makes up about 99% of readers and participants.
There is some understanding about this. Like TV, most people expect to get their internet entertainment for free and figure the providers are making it upon advertising, etc.

I’m not sure why this is important to you, but this thread was put in a sidebar box which I assumed required an effort by Jim or a moderator.
