Thank you honey.
Now we have James' confirmation that he did indeed post something from the Marketimer which James seems to believe was "fair use", (and Brinker may not agree) and additionally, he confirms that he posted something uncomplimentary to Brinker.
Plus, we have James' suspicion that it was the uncomplimentary comments that did it rather than the inappropriate "sharing" of the Marketimer and the fair use issue. Plus we have James suspicion that it could happen to honey as well, although we don't know if honey subscribes.
1. We still don't know what the "shared" information was or whether it rightfully comes under fair use or not, and we perhaps never will.
2. We still have only suspicions and opinions, and perhaps always will, as to the "real" reasoning behind the reported cancellation.
3. I understand from what Kirk says that Brinker and his people are free to cancel anyone they wish to, and return the subscriber's money. Personally, I don't believe Brinker wants to cancel any valued subscribers, I don't know why any publisher would... but as Kirk says, he's free to do so, no crime, no breach of ethics. And others are free to profit from Brinker's work. And others are free to continue to toss their slings and arrows, First Amendment remains uncompromised. |
