Did I hit my word count limit again? :-)


You better ask Wired about that to ensure you don't get sued, right?

I think Larry is making a point about infringement -- Music copied results
in huge fines by jurors who think it's not possible to "spoof" a web
transaction; you have also infringed by posting an entire article to a list,
thereby circumventing the "thou shall not republish" agreement most news sites
have. Of course, posting to a list "to engage in discussion" is fair-use, but
Larry still has a point -- these lines of distinction about what is ok and what
isn't are blurred and that is causing some people to restrict their actions
(not posting entire articles, not making backups of copyrighted things, etc.).

All my posts are in the beta phase, just like google news...
