i ain’t buyin that.
while browsing this interesting article in the CSM about European and Middle-eastern news coverage of the war, (via the ever-watchful, irrepressibly rich musings of Rob Brezsny), i noticed an odd link: “Permission to reprint/republish”. Up comes this window:
WHAT? Who the hell is “Rightslink” and where do they get off trying to charge me ten smackers to send this article in an email? People, unless you are makin’ a greasy buck off it, you do not have to pay someone to copy and paste their article. I repeat, it’s free, gratis, absolutely without charge! yes, and that’s the law. if you are concerned, slap this on the end of it:
In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without charge or profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this type of information for non-profit research and educational purposes only.
Sheesh! some people, even the liberal CSM can be so slime-o-racious.
