I'm with BB, Jade, and Becca on this as well. Most Creative Commons licenses, which is what most of us use, allow works to be reproduced, even verbatim, as long as attribution is given and isn't used commercially. This, for example, is the CC license I use, which is the most restrictive one possible: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/
I don't like this kind of behavior, but there's not much that can be done to prevent it (as long as attribution is given, etc etc), as far as I can tell.

Obviously I'm only angry that they lifted the entire comment! I wouldn't care if they paraphrased or stook snippets. It's a lazy practice and I don't support it.
There's no form of a CC icon or link on GR's page. Currently, the only person on this site with a CC badge is Angry_Scientist. I'm just trying to protect the rights of the bloggers and the commentors who haven't released their content under such a liscense.
Becca, I would have no problem with what DM did to link back to your blog.

"Copying a comment word for word is copyright infringement, Jade. They could be sued for this.
Their reach isn't much greater than ours anyway. I don't know why you're defending their stupidity so much. Do you work for them?"
Grow the fuck up!
Libel? Are you fucking shitting me?! Over a fucking blog-plug? Have you any idea what irresponsible piss that is? WHo the fuck is goiung to sue them Brian? You? Good fucking luck with that.
And WTF are you attacking Jade for? Bcause she disagreed with you>?
Jesus, this fucking place is daft sometimes.

LOL, I've seen people threatened for less, Tiddles. I had CNN send me an e-mail telling me to cease and desist copying their first paragraphs for my news links so I don't post any more stuff from them.
Of course I'm not going to pursue this further, but fuck off for getting mad at me for looking out for you guys, Tiddles. I wasn't attacking Jade. There's an ongoing joke about Jade's secret employer, and I think the next comment made that clear.

So now I can fuck off too? Nice editorial tone you're setting there mate.

Tiddles, Stop taking everything I say so seriously. I wouldn't say Tiddles if I was being serious. I'll just let everyone handle their own stuff from now on. Sorry everyone.

I am guessing because GR's article was short, rather than paraphrase, he used the direct quotes. It was kinda lazy of the editor. It's usually not like that. I bet he was trying to meet a deadline. They should have picked a different article rather than just quote the entire article, so I can see your point. I would be surprised if you hear back from them, though I would be interested to know if you do.
Unfortunately, I'm trained to be a business woman which means that I see things through green colored glasses. My mind goes right into marketing/networking mode and GenomeWeb plugs are worth their views in gold. A banner ad on that site is silly expensive.
Tideliar - it's not worth so much anger. It's just a difference in viewing what GenomeWeb does. They usually do summarize the blog they are plugging. I wasn't upset about it. I know that Brian has the best intentions in mind always.
Brian- please continue to look out for us - it's ok to be suspicious and check into things if you think they are attempting to steal content.

Overlord, you will and always be, my favorite network administrator/technology sugardaddy. Keep up the work. Everybody may read the Daily Scan but I had no fucking idea what it is.
