I have e-mailed
smills@theonion.com, not in a mean way or anything, but just pointing out to him the potential readership he is losing.

Are you volunteering to pay the damages if the Onion sues?
To: Jim Robinson
Can we post a link to their site/articles?
To: Jim Robinson
Well, I for one have posted several things from The Onion.
This sucks.

I understand their concern, but it's misplaced. It seems that the only Onion pieces that are posted deal with topics frequently discussed here. How many Freepers have been introduced to the site because of the posts, and continue to visit their site because of the initial exposure here?
Darn shame.

How come this isn't under Humor?
To: mountaineer
Nope. Isnt that what the FR Legal Defense Fund is for?
How long did Jim battle the LA Times and Washington Post and now an email has him cowering?
Virtually everything that starts a thread is copywrited. Soon, FR may consist of nothing buy vanity ramblings.

Well, unlike news sources, the Onion is fiction, satirical at that. I suspect that Jim has no choice in this matter, for the sake of FR.
Frankly, I won't miss Onion postings. Too many folks have taken them seriously in the past, causing confusion in those threads.
No problem, Jim!
