In academia, citing your sources and giving them full credit helps avoid plagiarism and legalities. I've always wondered why that didn't work in situations like this. Yeah, I understand it's different. Guess I'm just simple.
Can you provide a citation for this? Maybe a link?Crab grass is much easier to maintain than St. Augustine.
Be like selling pics or videos that have been pirated and tell the buyers that its ok, MGM made the movie so it's OKIn academia, citing your sources and giving them full credit helps avoid plagiarism and legalities.

Citing a source and wholesale reproduction are two different things entirely.

I bet the cease and desist letters would stop if you blocked all IPs outside of TexasRight now, there are cease and desist letters floating around and the lawyers required to deal with those aren't cheap.
I’m more inclined to read a linked article that is posted when the poster paraphrases or gives their own summary of the linked article because critical thinking is involved.
I don't think TGT really wants to contribute to the Balkanization of the internet so blocking all IPs outside the US is just untenable. At least that's the way I feel. Our member from Switzerland, for example, has made some really great contributions.If the concern is the EU's stupid Copyright Directive, why not just block all IPs outside the US?
The onus should be on them to block us from their countries if we're so offensive to them, but that's not how this will go down. We'll have to protect our freedoms from external legal threats.I don't think TGT really wants to contribute to the Balkanization of the internet so blocking all IPs outside the US is just untenable.
Fair use and free speech is pretty well defined here, but in a practical sense it's already here. The big companies like Google (YouTube), Twitter, and Facebook have already written most of it into their policies. They have no interest in just following US law, and want to be globalists.I have no doubt that many, many interests will try to import that nightmare into North America.
When that happens, I might just live on Tor.
And yet we still have people so short-sighted that they deny the way the real world works and continue to fall back on "But only the government can violate your rights to free speech! Companies can do anything they want!"They have no interest in just following US law, and want to be globalists.
I don't know. I assume that somewhere way up the food chain, at the level where people actually get paid, there are folks thinking about it. I'll never be consulted, that's for sure.So what's the strategy?
I feel like we're watching the birth of the dystopian cyberpunk future.
