The Associated Press is currently in the process of negotiating with a group of bloggers, regarding copyright permissions on using excerpts of its stories.
For more on this story, see our post from yesterday: Fair Use v. Plagiarism/Copyright Infringement
We would like to know what you think will happen next.
AP will likely attempt to enforce whatever policy it develops but will lose in court. Fair use is pretty well defined in case law and AP can’t change that by simply creating a policy.
AP won’t lighten up, bloggers won’t care, we’ll all up in Court, and then we will find out just what the definition of FREE F***ING SPEECH is. Excuse my language, but I cannot stand it when people try to take away my GOD-GIVEN rights. *steaming*
This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)
This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.
Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
