It doesn't suffer from the problem you cite in the next para. He could post to the rec.radio.amateur.moderated, and he isn't likely to get an answer. Except for the filler crossposted between there and other newsgroups, it's a pretty dead newsgroup, has been since the beginning.

I'm all against the spamming, but it raises an interesting question - If you are referring to syndicating the content and the blog author has published at atom or rss feed then surely it is implied that they are giving permission to re-distribute it? Or did you mean some other copyrighted material? -- Mouse. Where Morse meets House. |

By international law, any published material, whether on the internet or otherwise, is copyrighted and cannot be copied without the explicit permission of the owner. This includes atom and rss feeds. These may be distributed to their subscribers, but the subscribers may not republish without the owners consent. It's like a newspaper. I get a copy of the Washington Post every day. I can read it. I can mention articles in passing. But I cannot republish the article without the Post's permission. Copyright law makes no distinction. It's the same in both cases. -- ================== Remove the "x" from my email address Jerry, AI0K ================== |

Whilst I certainly don't speak absolutely definitively, so please don't take my assertions as gospel, AIUI the rram mod seeks permission from the author to repost their material. I've seen direct reference to the request being made in at least 2 or 3 articles posted in the last couple of years. -- STC // M0TEY // twitter.com/ukradioamateur |

I've seen direct reference to the request being made in at least 2 or 3 articles posted in the last couple of years. In some cases, maybe. But there have also been posts by the authors saying they didn't know their blogs were being reposted to usenet. I've seen this a couple of times in the last year. I wonder if one asked each of the authors being posted if they had given their permission, what the results would be. -- ================== Remove the "x" from my email address Jerry, AI0K ================== |
