Several comments on this "thread" have been making the rounds this morning,
but most of what has been said relates to copyright owners granting their
permission in order that they be "rightly compensated" for their writing.
On the other hand, the issue of retransmitting a posted message has more to
to with libel than with copyright.
Talk about mixing apples and oranges...
Thoughts on this?
