I can’t speak for the OP, but here is why I do it:
***No comment on sending FReepers to clickbait sites, got it. No comment on malware, no comment on blogpimping. Got it.
1. The Fair Use Rules don’t give me the right to copy all the content, but only part
***Wrong. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes. https://michelsonip.com/basics-of-ip-blog-series-8-is-it-fair-use-or-infringement/?gclid=CjwKCAiA3L6PBhBvEiwAINlJ9OUbZ_l7_t2cS_Dvly02Eqpdd3EFGks62CgmH-LpvWTJL7M_GeBZ9xoCCsMQAvD_BwE
2. Just because a site hasn’t been upset in the past doesn’t mean the won’t be a Thorn in Jim’s after we copy a whole article. He has enough concerns.
***He’s got that wired. That’s why there’s an excerpt list.
3. Fairness prohibits me from taking the entire article and subverting the website’s original purpose in posting it
***The original purpose is clickbait, ads, malware, cookies, and anti-FReeperness. Fairness does not prohibit you from avoiding that crap.
4. You can *always* click the link if you want to read more
***Since you’re reiterating, so am I: clickbait, ads, malware, cookies, and anti-FReeperness.
5. FReepers rarely read all we post anyway
***Hollow justification for your laziness. When I do this checking on excerpts & posting the full article I see often that freepers thank me for doing it.
6. “Thou shall not steal.”
***”Not applicable”.
Again, after a lot of thought,
***Doesn’t look to me that you put a lot of thought into it. In fact it looks to me like you just use the auto-excerpt function, you’re bein’ lazy while sendin’ FReepers off FR to deal with clickbait, ads, malware, cookies, and anti-FReeperness.
this is where I ended up.
***You should put more thought into it.
I don’t care if anyone sees it differently.
***If ya don’t care then why bother responding to I wrote at all? You’re just trying to justify laziness.
It’s how I have decided to roll. FYI.
***Yeah, roll is a good term to use, like rollie-pollie because you’re upholding laziness as a virtue.
General Copyright Statement:I'm pretty sure aMorePerfectUnion is closer to the intent of jimrob's policy than your stated preference.
Most of the sourced material posted to Free Republic is posted according to the "fair use" doctrine of copyright law for non-commercial news reporting, education and discussion purposes. We used to post full text of most articles so we could document history as it's being made, but more and more news agencies are now requesting us to post excerpts and links only to their material, and some are requesting that we post no material at all from their sites. We are complying with all such requests. Click here for the latest list of copyright requests. Please send takedown requests to: jimrob@psnw.com
I guess all you can is post every article yourself…
I’m ok with that.
I’ll excerp like always.
