Cisco, Very strange... He contacted all of those media entities, and they all had similar responses to him... I very often quote (including cut-n-paste) from credible news sources, etc... And, aside from one instance involving a news wire service that was attempting to "make a point" that had nothing to do with copyright violations, I've never had any removed or challenged, either by the original author/reporter or his/her employer. If you're very careful to make the original source known (for example, provide a link to the original URL), if you give the author/reporter full credit for their work, and if you also acknowledge the entity (for example, The Wall Street Journal or Bloomberg), they really don't strenuously object. I also go one step further, and sometimes won't cut-n-paste the original information in a timely manner. That is, I wait a day or two until any information contained therein is now dated, and post it then. Not all reports have some sort of market timeliness to them, so I don't do this all of the time. Most (really all) of the reporters I've talked with are actually happy to see others reading and commenting on their efforts. So I'm just a wee bit skeptical of this guy's claims... KJC
