I am lrking at DU -- they seem to have no problem with excerpting.
Is it that they are libs?
Why do they get a pass?
Your guess is good as mine.
If in fact they are excerpting without permission, publicizing that fact to the source from whom they are excerpting, might "Remedy" the situation.
Of course, I wouldn't mention that you happen to know from this website that the excerpted source forbids it.
A news outlet can certainly demand (and possibly get) whatever it wants based on copyright of its materials. However, if it does not do so uniformly, its discriminatory practices may be actionable (you'd *have* to ask a lawyer about that one), and in any case *definitely* represent censorship, which charge should promptly be hurled at whatever leftist rag did it, if only for the fun of watching them try to squirm out of looking like the ethically bankrupt leftist schumerhole that they undoubtedly are...
So if you *catch* them protesting *our* posting their material, and can prove that they are allowing DUh to print it *without* protest, they may be in trouble...
Meanwhile, it's clear that I don't completely understand how the system here works. I tried posting something from one of the Gannett papers, and got a window refusing the posting. But it wouldn't let me post it even when I removed *all* the body of the article, excerpting *nothing*, leaving only the title and the link, which I thought it was OK to do. What gives?
am i correct in assuming that second group does not even allow links to stories?
since when has linking been illegal on the net? what a bunch of morons those folks are.
