NON-OFFICIAL INFORMATION SOURCES ARE AN OUTRAGE!
Blogging is really getting under the left's oh-so-thin skin. The very thought of free access to diverse viewpoints sends them into a tizzy. Enter Judge Richard Posner
a United States Court of Appeals judge in Chicago and legal scholar who was once considered a potential Supreme Court nominee.
He has the solution. Outlaw blogging:
Expanding copyright law to bar online access to copyrighted materials without the copyright holder’s consent, or to bar linking to or paraphrasing copyrighted materials without the copyright holder’s consent . . .
Let me repeat that. He wants to “bar linking” to newspaper articles or any copyrighted material without the “copyright holder’s consent.” I am sorry Judge Posner, but I don’t need to ask your permission to link to your blog post or to a newspaper article online. That is just the way the Web works. If newspapers don’t like it, they don’t need to be on the Web. (Atlas Shrugs)
