Find a group of CBC employees,as I did,and you'll see a very-well heeled bunch of artsy left wingers,living very nice lives on our dime.<br /><br />F*** 'em!

Since when do Liberals "get it", eh!<br /><br />What I'd like to see the CBC "get" is the shaft. Cut 'em loose, withdraw the artificial life support and see if they can do without.

Not out of fear but out of sheer annoyance at what they are trying to do. Anyone in the world can go to their site and read the articles for free, so I don't get it.KGouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537080163900313558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16604508.post-8713397494295411842010-04-24T10:04:22.264-03:002010-04-24T10:04:22.264-03:00If the same story is available from a non-CBC sour...If the same story is available from a non-CBC source, just use that other source.<br /><br />Besides, there's another way. Do what the Big Media does: Say something like, "So-and-so said that...", and just put it into your own words. No need to even link! Betcha they'll hate it if we do that, even though they do it all the time! Of course, do save the link just in case. Might as well save a screenshot in case the outlet changes their article and you then can't prove what you said they said.Canadian Sentinelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255833874079591126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16604508.post-40938958538575102382010-04-24T09:41:39.577-03:002010-04-24T09:41:39.577-03:00Wow.

Most bloggers I frequent are careful to give proper sources and links, to be sure to steer clear of any plagarism or copyright infringement by posting a quote, stating where they got it from, and then linking to the full article. That's the right way to do things and it generates more traffic for the news site too - but now apparently that's the wrong way to do things? <br /><br />If the various organizations offer their stories online for free, and the bloggers are not making any money from posting the links/quotes, what's the big deal? If they only want paid subscribers (ie online newspapers) to read, then they should set themselves up that way and then I suppose they could call out copyright infringement if people are posting articles online for free after copying from their own paid subscription.<br /><br />But as you said, the CBC is supposed to be free, and it's largely supported with tax payer money. I paid you paid we all paid hooray! And now as though a blog is a rotting carcass, the CBC vulture circled overhead and decided to make it an easy meal. Ridiculous!<br /><br />Just another way to stifle free speech. A free online news service paid by the public now suddenly becomes 'not free'. I don't get it - and I guess I will refrain from pointing to the correct sources if I am going to use anything the CBC posted in the future - is that what they want? Of course then I would be in trouble under a different clause instead. I think the CBC has shot itself in the foot on this issue.KGouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537080163900313558noreply@blogger.com
