Please post excerpts and links only from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

I will work up and post an updated list of our forbidden/excerpt & link only site list as soon as I can.

Thanks,

Jim

Well, at least that request is slightly less snotty than most others.

Thanks in advance for posting a list. It's so confusing.

Maybe it's getting to the point where we should excerpt unless we have permission, and then create a volunteer group to archive key articles for future research purposes - you'd have three or four posters who would monitor critical publications and archive articles of interest.

Excerpts will do quite well. Maybe even better since most articles contain little new material and the rest is old hash. We can be picky and be even better informed.

I wonder if the Post Gazette has extended this warning to other sites? Here in PA, as many freepers have already discovered, they are quite liberal, Bush-haters, big Dem supporters. No surprise they are offended, copyright issues aside.

You would think they'd be paying people to read the stuff in their third-tier rag. Should be sending red roses to Free Republic for providing free exposure instead of standing on their dubious dignity.

I noticed similar request by the SF Chronicle. With my tinfoil hat on I wonder if this has to do with the 2004 election?

"It has been brought to our attention that you have republished Pittsburgh Post-Gazette material without permission. This is a direct violation of the Copyright Law of 1976. Please cease and desist immediately. "

So, who's bringing this stuff to these papers' attention. Seems like we have one of these things pretty frequently. Is someone ratting out FR?

I got a C&D once for online material posted on my server, but the letter was friendly to the extreme, including a big friendly "thank you" when I removed the material and an offer for help relating to the subject of the materials I had posted. Why do these guys have to be so nasty about it?

BTW, in the bit I've read of the DMCA, FR could possibly get around this by instituting an internal news story caching system, since there is a special exemption in the DMCA for such systems.

I hope we can also maintain (informally, if necessary) a list of group login codes so we don't have to individually register with each and every site. I never give them real info, anyway; I get enough spam.

I will work up and post an updated list of our forbidden/excerpt & link only site list as soon as I can.

You may just want to get ahead of this curve and require only excerpts from anywhere from now on, otherwise these requests will just keep dribbling in. What they do show, however, is that the partisan media is starting to pay much close attention to the content of FreeRepublic because of the influence it is having on the conservative media.

If the Left can't shut down FreeRepublic entirely (and they have tried), then they will restrict FreeRepublic as much as possible by denying us the full content of as much as possible. I predict that this trend will increase rapidly.

I would hope that, perhaps as with Newsmax, the authors themselves will come here and post their content directly. Otherwise, excerpts will be the way that the Left tries to restrict the sphere of influence of FreeRepublic.

BTW, you could have some fun with them. The DMCA lays out specific requirements for a notice to an online site such as FR, and it looks like this mail doesn't fulfill the law. Check the DMCA, down at "ELEMENTS OF NOTIFICATION." Of course ask you lawyer first if you want to play.

What really bugs these folks, is that US citizens might read, discuss and shoot down the leftist drivel they see fit to print.

If every news organization forbid us to repost their material, it would be impossible to have an adequately informed populace.

IMO, that's where we're headed.

If you can publish news, then take it back, only a few will have access. None will have access to all, because you couldn't afford to purchase access to it all.

Most of the instigators of the darkest moments in history would love what's happening to information in this nation.

...ah jeeze.......bump. Soon all of FR is just going to be a collection of excerpts, forcing us to visit sites that require registration! A minor complaint, I suppose, as any interesting articles I simply bookmark from the source anyway, BUT STILL, it's nice to have a copy on hand of an article if the orginal source is moved, or no longer available for other reasons. dag nabbit...

I think I did it again
I made you believe we're more than just friends
Oh baby
It might seem like a crush
But it doesn't mean that I'm serious
'Cause to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Oh baby, baby

CHORUS:
Oops!...I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops!...You think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

You see my problem is this
I'm dreaming away
Wishing that heroes, they truly exist

I cry, watching the days
Can't you see I'm a fool in so many ways
But to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Baby, oh

Repeat CHORUS

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

"All aboard"
"Britney, before you go, there's something I want you to have"
"Oh, it's beautiful, but wait a minute, isn't this...?"
"Yeah, yes it is"
"But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean in the end"
"Well baby, I went down and got it for you"
"Oh, you shouldn't have"

Oops!...I did it again to your heart
Got lost in this game, oh baby
Oops!...You think that I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

Now one has to wonder why the Putzburg Pist has some minimum wage Kerry fan sitting in the basement reading FR????

Could it be they want to keep up with world events????
