Coming from a local Indy resident this is huge news GenCon has been a part of my life for quite awhile now and all I can hope is that someone buys it who cares about D&D and CTG's. Most of my friends are very involved with this convention my best friend volunteers and was won second place last year in the final FMA tourney. All I can hope is that if there are buyers they will remember what GenCon is about and keep true to all the gamers that enjoy it so much.
Whats sad about this picture is that people make pennies a week sorting through and burning toxic trash giving them many many health issues in Africa. Just makes me sad.
I hate to point this out but has anyone ever clicked the copyright info on an AP web site. such as House of Lords Story [ap.org] from further up today. If you check the copyright link at the bottom you will see that the AP lets users post the entire story for free.
"Post this article on your website, blog, social networking page, or intranet for a limited time, free of charge, with ads. Includes the AP logo, copyright notice, and links. You can link to the article or display it using inline frames."
I think this is what they really want to make sure there logo and ADS are the real issue here. AP wants money for letting you use any part of its story probably.
I also like this option they give you.
"Excerpt for Web Use License parts of this article for republishing on your website or intranet. Pricing based on the number of words excerpted."
"words 5-25 $ 12.50
words 26-50 $ 17.50
words 51-100 $ 25.00
words 101-250 $ 50.00
words 251 and up $ 100.00"
I say its all about the money and nothing with fair use. So if you post 4 words or under thats ok because there not charging for that.
