  8. And some businesses are attacking... on Business Press Pays Attention To Blog Industry · · Score: 3, Informative

    I submitted this a couple of days ago, but it seems it wasn't important enough for its own story.

    A local news paper, The Tulsa World, sent out a cease and desist letter saying to stop quoting their opinions/articles (in whole or in part) and to stop deep linking to their unprotected .pdfs to these websites:
    Batesline.com, Chris Medlock's blog (a city councilor who is the subject of a recall), and TulsaNow.org because some messages in the forum include links to articles.

    The Tulsa World's webmaster apparently didn't know how to stop unauthorized linking until just recently. Wednesday he said it couldn't be done, today it is fixed.

    Two other websites are involved in this story of so called copyright infringement, freedom of speech and deep linking. Tulsans for election integrity also received the letter, they are against the recall. The coalition for responsible government are for the recall and has directly copied, in their entirety, articles from the Tulsa World and have received no such letter (the we know of) the Tulsa World has been informed, so either the coalition for responsible government is ignoring the demand or the Tulsa World has given them blanket permission to do such a thing.

    This story has been covered locally and nationally

  10. Re:Doesnt affect me any... on Macrovision Releases DVD Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    Let me add, I think there is a HUGE difference between DVD copy protection and CD copy protection.

    With CDs you can rip out the songs you want to listen to so you can add them to your portable player, or compile a greatest hits CD, or make a copy so yopu can take the copy with you in the car so the original doesnt get messed up, or whatever...

    why copy a DVD?
