I can't see the difference between repeating information that's behind a paywall....and information that's in a newspaper. How many stories have News International journos "lifted" in their time?George Dearsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00304948035932082441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917932169846040654.post-11058625290535203342010-07-13T08:52:57.406+01:002010-07-13T08:52:57.406+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.George Dearsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00304948035932082441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917932169846040654.post-38240769090777987892010-07-12T12:11:35.036+01:002010-07-12T12:11:35.036+01:00Craig,

Does a paywall mean you should not take any material from behind it?Jon Slatteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038317396308507738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917932169846040654.post-50557087266902104932010-07-12T11:42:57.054+01:002010-07-12T11:42:57.054+01:00Jon, is what you have done here essentially copyri...Jon, is what you have done here essentially copyright theft? You've taken content - that people can only get by going behind a paywall - and not given any renumeration?<br /><br />I know that Sky have put it up but in essence, taking what someone else has stolen (even if it is still News Int) potentially depriving The Times of revenue?<br /><br />(I'm only being half-serious here, but at the same time, we can't moan about not being compensated for our words and work and then go lift the work of others at the same time).Craig McGillhttp://www.contently-managed.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
