GateHouse Media Strikes Again: Claims Headlines, Ledes Are Covered
By Copyright, Threatens Forum
,----[ Quote ]
| Remember GateHouse Media? The regional news
| company sued the NY Times for linking to it,
| claiming it was copyright infringement to
| include the headline and a brief snippet
| along with the link (you know, like
| Google...). Amusingly, it turned out that
| GateHouse Media was doing the same thing.
| Eventually the two companies settled, and
| apparently that's convinced GateHouse Media
| that complaining about such links is a good
| idea.

Rumblefish and the Public Domain
,----[ Quote ]
| The Public Domain is supposed to be a safe
| place for artists to get content without
| fear of copyright infringement.
|
| This permits Rumblefish advertising rights
| and control over public domain and the
| content of independent artists.
| (We are the only ones we know of - but we
| are sure that we are not the only ones)
|
| This is a violation of our rights as
| artists.

Federal court using scare tactics to block sharing of public records
,----[ Quote ]
| It appears that the US Courts, concerned about competition from software that
| offers the possibility of widespread free access to documents filed on
| federal judicial dockets, for which the public would otherwise have to pay
| the courts at the rate of 8 cents a page, are ready to resort to scare
| tactics to discourage lawyers from using that software.
