Isn't that illegal, since you don't own the copyright? Or are you not distributing it and keeping it for archive purposes?

- jedberg 9y agoIt's on my website, which is a blatant copyright violation. So far the NYT hasn't asked me to take it down. It could potentially be considered fair use, since I'm not making a profit and I provide commentary.
- exergy 9y ago> It's on my website, which is a blatant copyright violation Tangential, but I long for a world where we can all be as candid with each other.
- ringaroundthetx 9y ago> It could potentially be considered fair use, since I'm not making a profit and I provide commentary. Although people through that term around willy nilly, in our current framework that means being sued for a minimum of $100,000 per supposed violation, and making your fair use defense in front of a judge. Youtubers have reported spending $50,000 just to begin talking with lawyers and preparing briefs. Maybe our ISPs can start offering us insurance.

- daemin 9y agoI figure you're doing the same as someone that cuts an article that they are mentioned in out of a newspaper and frames it on their wall. I've seen plenty of restaurants and businesses do it.

- simias 9y agoDon't downvote people for asking questions ffs!
