Folks, just a heads up.
- Thread starter kwik44
- Start date
Ciggy is no longer going to be able to puke out his inbox here daily? Oh the humanity! Any Lib with an ounce of respect should do something! Don't take this! Leave if you have to!!
@cigaretteman might need to finally clean his keyboard to post something. Every key is clogged with years of dried, crusted semen mixed with tears except:
- CTRL
- V
- C
- Deplorable
Also, @fredjr82 meltdown in this thread and @Huey Grey general lack of understanding have made for some good lolz this morning. Thanks all!
None of the posters here are making money off of others content. That is laughable
Good news guys! Even with this new rule, Ciggy managed to start 1/4 of the threads currently on page 1. Apparently he can still spam the board! Good news for all Libs!!
There is an ignore button if Ciggy's posts bother you.
Deep down....you love Ciggy. You want him on that wall. You need him on that wall!
I don't think its about people making money off them links, but keeping original author from the clicks
Which they are not going to get with a paywall anyway. Getting their names out there might create more subscribers.
I subscribe to @torbee 's writer's collaboration. Would I if I hadn't known some of their work? No.
I almost always post a link to my source if I am quoting a portion of an article. Usually I post the relevant part and then the link.
Is that ok?
Is that ok?
Wasn't he posting the entire article with the link, regardless of it being paywall?
So back to my point, posting links to paywall seems to be a bit fruitless. I'd venture to guess that the overwhelming majority of board members are not subscribers to most of the sources.
I think Kwik said earlier it's okay to copy and paste parts of an article as long as there is a link included.
Rivals sells ads alongside the content posted here.
FreeRepublic went through this years ago, and was in litigation started I believe by the LA Times, but joined by other news orgs (NYT, WaPo, etc) that wanted to prevent copying the entirety of their copyrighted works somewhere that someone else was making money off of it.
In fact I find that pretty annoying actually. Dont post a link if it isn't available to all.
Yes. But that's not what ciggy is doing this morning. In two threads, it's no pasted content, just a link to paywall.
This also gave me a sad to see Naturalmwa's post in that thread.
Correct, that falls under fair use.
I think on FreeRepublic they allow two paragraphs
Funny thing is, FreeRepublic doesn’t sell ads, they’re entirely funded by user donations and are non profit. It was just a user driven news aggregator that had a comment feature so people could bitch about the article (like we do here). They still weren’t allowed to post the full articles.
Like I said before there is an ignore button. No one has to read content on here they don't want to see.
You are perfect…a beautiful poster, Gus! An American hero is what you are! You da MAN!
When I grow up, I aspire to be just like you…
It’s not plagiarism when the source is cited. Plagiarism is when someone copies another’s work, and presents it as their own.
It’s more like a cease and desist. The people objecting feel their income is being affected, just like my bit torrenting, instead of paying for HBO.
Huh? I asked the reason. Kwik said plagiarism, which makes zero sense. Then edited it to copyright infringement. Take it up with him. I'm not the one changing reasons midstream here.
