Inotice many of us post AP articles. I am clearly aware that if in doubt look at the help guides Jim and his admin. moderators have compiled to assist who can and cannot be posted on Free Republic.
It has taken me time to fine tune my posting skills and for the most part I get it right. I use the guides often.
Earlier today, someone posted the copyright tag line on one of my threads. Yes it was AP, but, it was in a Billings Montana paper. I checked it was allowed.
I sent a note to the moderators about the AP articles and, a nice reply arrived in my mail box.

AP is not on the required excerpt list but several sources who use AP articles are. If the AP article comes from one of those sources it must be excerpted. Updated FR Excerpt and Link Only or Deny Posting List due to Copyright Complaints

In the end I posted the article correctly, but, it was still worth reading the guidelines. Espcially with the new members that have joined. So if you see someone struggleing remind them of these informative threads, that in the end it is a privilege to post on FR, to continue on in good faith, we should abide by their request. It isn't worth losing this privilege.
List of Gannett publications that cannot be posted to Free Republic per their copyright complaint
Hit so I can find this again if I need it!
Well, I didn't intend to violate the restriction regarding the Independent. Sigh....
Refresher ping for myself
In all this, it seems clear that there is a major group of publications that will allow us to only publish extractions or in many cases not even that but rather only a link or reference.
In no case do I see anyone saying that you can't even reference the publication or article but many people here are reading into this as so.
We cant even excerpt Antiwar.com????
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, we're really being blacklisted! ROTFLOL!!
Methinks 'ol Justin got tired of all of the "fudgepacker" and "girlieman" comments, some of them posted directly to him when he was a Patsy and FReeper himself. Queers can't stand freedom of speech or true tolerance.
Hang in there Tom bump.
They surely don't want their agenda known do they?
My goodness!!! How are we supposed to remember this whole list?
Also, how much of the article are we allowed to print?
Bump!
Bump

Has 'The Empire Journal' been added to this list?.... I saw on another site they had issued a cease and desist notice to not post from 'The Empire Journal'...
Thanks.
My thoughts exactly. They publish articles and opinions but they don't want any debate? Just one more example of the out-of-control arrogance of the elitist media.
saved tnxs 4 the memo boss
bookmarked
Howdy, just wondering when I tried to post the NYT article a bit ago, it said I must excerpt. Mind shedding some light on this change or did an error occur when I tried to post? Just making sure to be aware of the rules here.
Thanks much for giving us all a terrific forum to discuss the days events.
