Stocks higher? PIMCO manager says don't bet on it!

[Ivanovich]

Quote from Rodney King:

AP, Reuters and other copyright holders sell their content via various delivery channels -- newspapers among them. The revenue from those channels enables them to stay in business. In turn, the channels pay money for AP content so as to be able to display it along with associated ads. That's how they make a living. When someone cut/pastes an entire article onto a chatboard, it does indeed enable readers to read it without looking at the original web page, with its associated ads or other revenue-generating functionalities. That's the point. They're providing worthwhile content in return for some eyeball time on their site. This is why copyright exists -- if I could just print up copies of book or web content and sell them on 14th St, the original content provider would be robbed of the revenue strea

The difference is you are selling the content in your example. Nothing in the article is being sold here, and the poster profited nothing by posting it.

Quote from crgarcia:

It is legal to copy/paste as long as you state the source, and you are not profiting from it.

It is legal to copy/paste <em>excerpts</em>. "Stating the source" has no bearing. "Not profiting" is a factor, but not decisive. Even schools and libraries are constrained.

But don't take my word for it... http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html

Based on the criteria listed in said definition of copyrighting, I see no issue whatsoever in the OP, as I said originally.

Now what say we get back to the idea that Pimco is going to cash?

I'm not sure how someone can read the government's summary I linked to, and come to that conclusion, but, whatever. I have no horse in this race, and reasonable people can disagree without being disagreeable...
