Signal 11 core-dumped:
>> Yeah, but make sure to include a copyright notice which states >> you must quote the ENTIRE faq if you quote it at all.. none of >> this taking things out of context stuff that is so common in >> the media... Even if this was a good idea (which it is not), it wouldn't work. Existing U.S. and most other copyright laws allow for fair use, which (correctly) permits the reproduction of brief selections of a work for the purpose of criticism. Freenet itself challenges existing copyright laws. In a sense, we're saying "certain existing laws are wrong, and we're right". Now you want us to cite those existing laws in an attempt to stop others from criticizing us any way they please, in a way that demonstrates we don't even understand those existing laws! Signal, I really do like you, and I'm glad to have your help. Please don't take this as a slapdown, but I kept looking for the smiley in this "let's do what the Unabomber did" thread. It is nowhere near a good idea. Drop it now, and lets move on. I don't even agree with the Freenet philosophy as stated. My reasons for supporting the project are quite different. But even I strongly support the time-tested concept of using a single press spokesbeing as the primary (but not only) contact for a collective entitiy. In the case of Freenet, that voice is Ian. Send the FUD FAQ to AGL, and let him bounce it off Ian for final approval. If Ian gives it the thumbs-down (which sounds good to me), then the author can post it as his own opinion somewhere. No matter where it gets posted, do not attempt to force people to forego their rights under fair use and print the entirety if they print even a section. It won't work, and even if it did it's a bad idea anyway. Signal is still a nice guy, though. :-) --Will (who does not speak for his employers, because they too know the spokesperson principle). willdye at willdye.com _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
