Folks, just a heads up.

[Huey Grey]

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.

Again. OP said it was plagiarism. Just wish Kwik was clear from the beginning what was going on.

 

[LuciousBDragon]

I for one would like to see Ciggy post some original content that extends beyond one sentence and using different adjectives for a change.

We all know he just copy/pastes in order to look busy while he stares at Asians in the university library.

This also gave me a sad to see Naturalmwa's post in that thread.

Okay.....I was in tears laughing reading that.

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

Nice knowing you guys, I'm sure I'm about to get the banhammer. Because that is what we do in this country these days.

Here I thought we just complained when someone informed us of something that is changing. That seems to be all I see in this country these days.

 

[torbee]

Absolutely. It’s the full articles that are strictly copy & pasted without any link that we would be talking about.

Also, as to post only the link, not still copy and paste the full article.

Post only a link.

So essentially you are saying paywalled/subscriber content is no longer allowed even if you include a link?

Frankly, that's pretty crappy.

For example, I often post a link to an Atlantic article, then include the content for those without a sub. One would think the publications would view that as free marketing/promotion as new readers are being reached who may decide the content makes a sub a value.

 

[BelemNole]

What about posts that are just Elon's tweets?

 

[Phenomenally Frantastic]

We have recently been instructed to remove all threads that are strictly Copy & Pasted without properly being posted as a link.

If you could please do a link only to the desired article or writing, that would be the best way to get your thread to remain on the board.


Thanks.

You could have just sent this post directly to @cigaretteman but I do understand the desire not to single him out.

 

[Phenomenally Frantastic]

Free speech.

If you want censorship, move to Europe where our CIA has already manipulated their populaces into censored submission.

Careful, he might to start collecting royalties.

Gosh, how ever in the world did you know I was talking about you??

I don’t understand this take.

If you post a paywalled article from the Atlantic, they should be thanking you for advertising?

yeah...people that just copy and paste the content of others are the worst, huh?

Sure, it’s exposing many people who may otherwise not see it the quality of their work, which is a good way to attract new subscribers.

I’d draw the line at copy/pasting an entire issue of course - but an article here and there? I see no reason why not.

 

[CJ Beat Hard]

Are boobs considered copyrighted?

 

[Gus is dead]

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…

I think you're plenty grown up best I can tell. Seasoned even perhaps.

 

[McLovin32]

This thread is surprisingly disappointing. You guys need to step your game up.

 

[McLovin32]

Only if they're OP's mom's boobs. I own those copyrights

 

[bcherod]

Are boobs considered copyrighted?

If they’re mine, they are.

Copyrights are fairly easy to understand.

Copyrights protect artists, music and writers, and more.

 

[DFSNOLE]

Lack of enforcement here then. I pointed it out when I migrated over here. It was a big no no and always has been.

@DFSNOLE can correct my memory- but Gene threw a big fit because ‘premium’ warchant articles were being shared in their entirety in other places, so the no posting articles went from football content to all articles on all boards. Maybe he’s the one who escalated up to rivals mothership, or other team sites had same issues?

Believe it has also been the policy on the main board for a while.

He did. We were instructed not to allow content from other sites as well as keeping an eye out for his premium articles on free pages. I never did the latter but would delete stuff from sites like 24/7/.

Warchant is no longer part of the Rivals network so it wouldn't be him.

 

[DFSNOLE]

Actually he is correct.

Doesn't matter. He was asked to cite his sources and refused. Got his panties so caught up in a wad, he left Osceola.

 

[Hans81]

I think we need some context here. How many sentences/paragraphs are acceptable until a link needs to be provided? Are we able to copy/paste the whole story IF we link a URL to all text in the post? This kind of request seems pretty loose with the rules (like last time). Does it only apply to a certain political party? Looking for any clarification

To clarify…no Dem-related links are allowed. 😉

 

[Hans81]

Instructed by whom? That is not legally enforceable. Unless you are claiming it as your own content. Books, newspaper articles, speeches, movies, musical lyrics are quoted every day.

Just do it…no whining. 🥴

 

[Hans81]

Are youtube clips going to be banned as well?

Hope not…we need the “Boobs” thread to continue! 😜

 

[TennNole17]

Warchant is no longer part of the Rivals network so it wouldn't be him.

Really meant maybe that was the origin of the mothership Rival rules about links.

**When we migrated here, didn't Gene also connect with Kakkert(?) asking him to delete posts trashing Warchant's new rule/paywal for Off Topic?

 

[Hans81]

NOOOOO

I think that was NoleSoul.

Gene consulted with my husband about this.

It was over Gene’s belief that everyone was stealing his content. It was about 24/7. However both Nee and Gene were at the same press conference. My husband explained there was nothing to see because the articles in question were based on what was said in a press conference.

There was nothing stealing of content.

 

[bcherod]

I think that was NoleSoul.

He’s not the brightest bulb.

*Checking this years agenda.

- Nope, not on the docket.

 

[kwik44]

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.

It was a misspeak & has been corrected.

 

[kwik44]

I see what you’re saying, but I think they want to avoid the potential conflict altogether by just posting it as a link.

Something must of happened along the lines for us to be notified. That’s really all I have on the topic.

As a journalist, you should be aware of copyright laws. I do understand your point though.

Sounds like something a person with a tiny platform would say.

So tell us what entity sent the cease and desist and we'll boycott the F out of them. Those that matter don't mind, those that mind don't matter kind of positioning

You’ve made it clear multiple ways that no one is paying to read anything you write. But this right here really shows your quality.

Seems like a bunch of grumpy old men that hate change on this site.
Keep up the great work @kwik44

 

[HawkeyeShawn]

How about we all just follow the new rule on the free message board they allow us to use?

Arguing/complaining for 4 pages…I guess that’s to be expected from HBOT.
