lord have mercy, people, let it go...

sounds like a big legal mess, i'd hate to decipher or even try to understand the definitions of it.

since someone is going to review my comment, if i read it posted on the page, does that mean i can get some money? sounds like a con man's dream.

It has been a long time since the US had what we in the rest of the world would call news. What will the US news services do now since they all tell the same story.


cut and pasted from : Wikipedia

News is any new information or information on current events which is presented by print, broadcast, Internet, or word of mouth to a third party or mass audience. News, the reporting of current information on television and radio, and in newspapers and magazines.

"It would be the death of blogging, digg, fark and all sorts of other sites that have sprung up over the years."


yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, bout time too :O)

Would spell the end for these sites *In America*.

Thankfully the rest of the world would still be free to think for itself (by proxy of someone elses words)...

"If a hack cut and pastes a story from another source then his ISP could be sued by the person who originally wrote the story." .... Always furnish attribution and the origin plotter and his ISP can be sued, if the base has been abused by others.

And boy, is that the most provocative headline .."Cut and paste could be outlawed" ... and fit for the Dandy or the Beano.

It is a sad fact that a Society which needs ever more laws is a Society which has lost Control and does not/cannot effectively Communicate ITs Messages, and that probably definitely because they are Woefully Inadequate and not Fit for General Purpose but rather more for Specific Control, which in Lost Control is usually reduced to Feather-Nesting and Document Shredding with the Covering of Tracks an All Consuming Nightmare that Burns like a Beacon adding further Light and Insight into Systemic Abuse as a Crooked Way of Life .
