In case you're wondering about copyrights Big Media has finally warned the mostly blogging internet about quoting huge segments of their protected material. I've always respected writers and only quote a sentence or so to get you to go read the stuff, but many bloggers take basically the entire article; no surprise that these bloggers also support stealing music for free over the web and robbing artists. Should companies go after somebody for a copyright violation the fines are huge: $50 per violation. Claudia Rosett is just the most recent person violated. So now I notice that huge portions of blogged material is being stolen (quoted) because we allegedly do NOT have copyright protection. WRONG, but enforcing it is tough right now.
