Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

???

When the AP says, as in this piece,



© 2009 Associated Press. All Rights Reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed



do they mean that it cannot be linked? What do they mean? Is linking "redistributing"?


Help me out, somebody. One would think that they would want linking to their stuff.

As my father the lawyer told me in 1956, to none of the accounts of descriptions of this game may be recorded or rebroadcast without the express written consent of major league baseball, it doesn't cost them anything to say that.

I recall it as "Any rebroadcast, retransmission or other use of the pictures, descriptions and accounts of this game without the expressed written consent of the Commissioner of Major League Baseball and the is prohibited". Not that I paid that much attention...

I believe the concept of "Fair Use" allows for quotes that convey the general idea of a piece without using too much of it. A sight I spend a fair amount of time on, As Maine GOes, has this policy in place, and put it in writing after the local Portland papaer threatened suit:

AMG Fair Use Posting Policy

If you own the copyright - you can post an entire article. If you have permission from the copyright owner - you can post an entire article. Otherwise, fair use of posting copyrighted material on AMG is limited to up to 75 words total plus a link to the original source. Example: You can post a news report headline, byline, 75 words total of the body of text, link to the original source.

Any posting outside of AMG's fair use policy will be deleted.

Why would you want to link to their lies? Isn't it better to ignore them?
