I'd bet less than half a dozen ever make such a request or demand.I'll take that bet. If six or less have made that request by the first FReepathon of 2003, I'll contribute an extra $50. If seven or more have decimated our posting privledges, I'm not sure FR will be worth my supporting.

If you've been following the troubles that WorldNetDaily has been having in trying to get a hard press pass to cover the U.S. Senate, you might think otherwise.
The mainstream press, with the blessings of the Senate, control access by reporters and news organizations to the Senate. By controlling access, they control the news. The average citizen cannot get the access that the press does. Therefore, Congress, via the mainstream press, controls what news citizens get. That's not what our founding fathers had in mind.
But by getting exclusive access to our government--granted by the government--the news generated should belong to the People, and not to the news organizations, so that we can keep tabs on our government.

This is no bigger blow to liberty than a pimple on an elephants rear.
Well, let's hope so.
Butt things are relative. :) [Pun intended]

Using FreeRepublic as a vehicle to circumvent Big Media's websites only makes their case stronger. The nature of FreeRepublic should be the same with or without full text posting.
FreeRepublic argued under the Fair Use provisions of the Copyright Act that it was allowed to repost full length material for purposes of discussion, and that this was necessary because the original material was subject to change without notice, including complete removal/destruction of the subject material. The judge didn't see it that way. "That's all she wrote."
We will have to be more creative and work harder to keep archive material within grasp, and to be alerted when the facts mysteriously change, but that shouldn't be a problem with a little bit of applied technology and some sweat.
JMHO.

That's a good argument in favor of this case. It would have been a good one to bring forth in court.

While this is not entirely a win for FR, neither is it a crushing defeat. Free Republic is alive and well and the fight against liberalism continues on. It's a crying shame that the hallowed words of the WP/LAT will no longer grace our pages, but, somehow, I am sure we will manage to live on without them.
Whew! You fought the good fight and came out of it in one piece. Yes, it's a pity the hollowed words of the WP and LAT will no longer grace our forum, but somehow we'll survive this "loss." We come out of it to fight another day.
Hey! Let's have a party next month in, say, Fresno to celebrate the end of this ordeal!
