Just the other day I did not even provide a link to a story because many news Websites have warnings about not using their story under any conditions and even the pictures sometimes now.
I only have one question though. How are people supposed to make up their own mind on any subject if their story is not to be reprinted, redistributed etc? And I interpreted that if I provided a link to the story in some way I would be redistributing it. I know perfectly well why there are copyright laws in the first place but if they don't want people doing what I just talked about then why put it on their Website in the first place.
There was a story recently that a someone in France had gotten a copy a copy of the new Harry Potter book and started to translate it into French even though the book is not going to be coming out for a while longer in France. And no this person did not get in trouble. I think he was a younger person and he was not trying to make any money off of it so nothing really happened to him.
I am kind of surprised that news organizations that have their material on the Internet would even want people talking about their story.
There are even a few online newspapers that say what page it would be in their printed newspaper now.
