I'm not making any money out of this. Nor is anyone else. Nor are the majority of the people here likely to be even able to purchase a Times Newspaper. No one has objected in the past. Why are you now? And who are you?

It doesn't matter whether you're making any money from it. That's not the point. The reason copyright exists is to provide the copyright holder with the EXCLUSIVE right to reproduce and distribute the work at hand. You have infringed the Times' rights. And that IS the point.
I'm not trying to be an ass about this. It's just that a conservative forum is that last place I'd expect to see property rights be ignored or scoffed at.
Also, we should all have a selfish motive here: The more that content providers see their work being copied and published elsewhere on the Web, the less free -- in both senses of the word -- the Web will become. As readers, we don't want to see the day when news and publishing are not as easily accessible on the Internet. We've got it good now -- let's not screw it up by taking incentives away from content providers.
