do you post news articles without permission? you risk getting sued: newspapers new business model
 

Good business model. Stop people from linking to your site, that should help traffic.

yup, i guess i should not of posted the link eh.

interesting

So we won't be able to get our news from GFY? I'll actually have to surf to CNN?

I just shared that story to everyone on Twitter. :1orglaugh J/K

CNN has a link on their site, Share Story.

LOL, he is grabbing his cock in that pic! So, FB now has to stop people linking to news articles.

Steve Gibson is making money by suing owners of blogs and web sites.
That sure sounds difficult. What a successful man.

If you take the news article and post it somewhere else you're pirating and that's wrong.

If you just link to the site it's not pirating.

Or is it only pirating porn that's wrong?

It's a step in the right direction. The people who make the content are the ones who should profit off it, not just grin and bear it while everyone else does

Make sense and doesn't make sense at the same time. lol

As long as you take a sample / part of the article and source it, or really user uploaded like with the forum - they can sue you but they won't win. The MPAA at this point has gotten lucky that everyone has settled. The first time someone stands up to the fight this, it's over.

This only applies if you just straight up rip their content. Now if you DISCUSS snippets of the news and link back to the article using a link that clearly identifies the source this maybe covered under the FAIR USE provisions of US copyright law.
