Oops.

Take G(awd)ol out and whip him with the cane........

....and all you other cut and paste fanatics.

Got it. Post only the link to the article.

In my best James Hetfield:

"Copyright Infringement Baaaaad!"

"Beer Gooooood!"

Oh crap. Ok, thanks for the heads up then.

Post only the link to the article.

It's OK to write a summary as well, and include an excerpt or quote in the Body section of the
write a blog entry form. Just keep it short so that it falls within the boundaries of fair use.

You mean we can't post three-screen HuffingluePost pro-Obama articles anymore? You, sir, have ruined our day.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...I am SO guilty.
I promise to reform...no spanking necessary!

This is a good thing. Not only will we be able to practice the skill of summarizing what we read, but also other people will see right there at the top what the article is about without having to dive in.

I am sure that many DR posters would pay to see you spanked, you are raining on their parade.

Gee I would have thought it would be for the bastardized site name.

The flag is flying at half-mast at the Israeli Embassey. GZ will be out collecting food stamps.

On the bright side, RCADE, this means real people are reading the RETORT!

How many people actually READ the article whether or not it is posted in full or linked? From the commentary around here I'd say maybe half, at best.

So is a copyright infringed if no one reads it? Hahaha

People who copy in the entire article are fucking obnoxious... that's what the link is there for... sucks that it came from such a formal complaint, but I'm glad its going to have to stop.

RCADE

About using photos in a link-OK?

Just checked-damn-Guilty as charged-won't happen again. This won't have any negative affects on the gerbils, like not enough food...

You can copyright the language. You cannot copyright the news. herm

Remember Shakespeare when you post blog entreis, no, not kill all the layers, but:

"Brevity is the soul of wit."

you are raining on their parade.

LOL...you are so bad!
I guess I left myself wide open on that one.

he did it! ....

sorry if I did that...I try to respect copyright laws... if its any consolation I only steal from the best...

Well, that pretty much puts Doc Sarvis out of business. He is the king of the multi-post cut and paste.

Take G(awd)ol out and whip him with the cane........

You sure you're not gay?

Sorry for any violation of the rules. I'll comply in the future.

I thought if you were a member subscribing to the services, you had free use of all of the articles. But I gather this blog does not subscribe.

Violation of intellectual property.. on a fucking BLOG?! Someone must be taking notice of this site.

I would like to know who complained so I can analyze the quality of their work.

All major news CAN SUCK IT - I refuse to click on any pay-for site or propaganda machines such as Wired, NYTimes, New Scientist (which used to be incredible until they went pay-for) to name a few once good ones.

So, now we run the risk of being banned for just quoting? What is the limit? I'd prefer Drudge Retort to be seen as augmenting their viewership rather than detracting from it. Again, I'd really like to know who lodged such a wildly over-protectionist complaint.

Ride_On's got a half-chub just thinking about it.

Funny, I never equated the statement of Muslim caning to something gay....but, hey if that is what it brings to mind for G(awd)ol, RLR and Monteloser...you "guys" do whatever you'd like. Just please keep me out of your fantsies.

I'll have you know, I am NOT freakin obnoxious. I thought posting the whole article on my blog would save people time . I know Bellsouth/AOL gets mighty damned slow some afternoons. Just thought I was being helpful.

Although....I agree...posting a whole article mid thread can be a bit tedious.

I feel that it all depends on the length of the article.

Any time the article length exceeds one post, it should be linked IMO.

Any tips or tricks that can help when summarizing articles?

The first and most obvious would be, read the entire article first, other than that ... ?

Funny, I never equated the statement of Muslim caning to something gay

The first thing you thought of after opening this thread was my ass, and you posted about it.

Yeah, you're right. Nothing gay there.

You obviously have a one track "mind".........

Difficult issue to police.

Craigslist was recently held NOT liable for illegal rental postings.

But, this is America, what really matters is whether the bastard suing you has more money than you do. If so they can easily crush you.

Interectual Pwoperty Wrights????

We China, We most favored nation, we no bother with Pwoperty Wrights.

How about if instead of calling it copyright infringement we refer to it as an "ondocumented use". If illegal aliens can get away with claiming they are "undocumented" maybe we can get sympathy for our cause. Let's have a rally and demand our rights, si se puede!

Three quick things:

1-Thank goodness! If I want to read an article, I'll click on the link. I find whole-sale posting quite annoying (although I've posted a song or two, which I guess is probably out as well...crap)

2-Whoever asked about summarizing -- most well-written news articles contain the most important information at the beginning. Of course, that's in reference to newspaper articles, and since many of the postings here are from magazines, etc., this may not always be the case.

3-RCade, or anyone else who may know -- do we have a word limit or anything on how much we can quote from an outside source? Like, up to 40 words and we're legal, but hit 41 and it's off to Gitmo??

but hit 41 and it's off to Gitmo??

hit 41 on a plane and it darn sure is!!! Especialy if you happen to be indian and look midle eastern.

Oh crap movie plot line, is that undocumented pasting? Please don't wipe your ass on the 5th at me.

"Please don't wipe your ass on the 5th at me."

Um, what?

"Please don't wipe your ass on the 5th at me."

Um, what?

oops.

Don't worry Danni, the companies the chinese are stealing from are the very corporations that you hate.

So for you, it's a win-win situation.

Danni no hate all corporation. DAnni just don't like corporation who buy media and control news.
DAnni don't like company who make profiteering from war. DAnni don't like company who get naive consumer to sign contract no good for consumer.
Danni work for corporation, very good corporation, treat Danni very good. Simplistic fool think all corporation same. Not so. Most corporation do business, create job, make people happy. Some corporation very big, don't care about people, only care how much money they make.
Why Danni still talk like immitation Chinese people???
I not know. Is very stupid. DAnni stop doing this right now, ok???

Larry Like Danni Talk
Larry Tell Danni Talk more
Larry love Unique Danni
Larry declare Danni trippy.

"Why Danni still talk like immitation Chinese people???"

Because Danni doesn't understand that Chinese people would consider her mock accent racist.

Danni velly solly.

Danni-did not know you "lacist"..prease be to stop...

Maybe Danni could put on some blackface and mock dem po black folks.

If it has to do with Xenu, then you better submit.

"Maybe Danni could put on some blackface and mock dem po black folks."

If it funny for TEd Danson then.....oh wait.....velly solly.

What was that rightwingers were saying about "liberal racism"?

Well Damn I guess I will either have to become more educated so I can summerize what I read or I can just write normally. Boy what a let down.

Larry Mohr

Wow! I know a few radio personalities in my area who use the retort as a subject in their talk shows.

Interesting, but I wonder now about the actual quality of the right side posters, they don't even manage to read the articles when they are posted.

THANKS Moneywar for that 411. Shakes head and mumbles to self.
