In this case with Ourmedia and Alive in Baghdad....I agree that the "member page" needs to change. Up until recently, JD only linked to video on Ourmedia...but I guess he wanted to stat linking out...and the wording hasnt changed yet. Markus says he's working on this change in the template. If you go to http://ourmedia.org/, the AIB video is now gone. So that's an easy fix too. if you see something you dont like, definitely complain to that person. If they dont do anything about it....then raise a big stink. I find that most times things we dont like are just a misunderstanding. Since Brian ants to make sure people see AIB as being "objective"....he should complain if someone makes him look inflamatory. as far as revlogging...let's look at a couple examples: http://revlog.blogspot.com/ (Ryanne) http://www.unitedvloggers.com/ (Michael Schaap) Do you expect either of them to email people BEFORE they reblog somebody? And you dont think they have the right to choose the frame of video they want to link to? I find this interesting since a journalist would say....I can write about anything with any spin I want. Fair use. Do you email anyone you are going to link to? Jay -- Here I am.... http://jaydedman.com
