Guest guest Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 Doug, Sounds fair enough to me. I'll reply then only on the same list as the original email is generated. If I start my own thread, I'll feel free to start it on both lists and let each go their merry way.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 Doug, Yet again I am bemused by the fact that the results of actions are so hard to predict. I had something entirely different in mind, and now we're talking about this... > > > There is copyright and there is netiquette.

Fair use, yes, but > not fair. > doug One more time, amigo, I just don't get it. As the Ken in " quoting Ken " I can tell you that the answer to what if is, " OK, no problem. " If someone figured out a way to make a bag full of money from something that I wrote, first thing I'd want to do is find out what I've been doing wrong. I mean, hey, what is the problem with having people quote, cite, refer to, abscond with, and otherwise appropriate and expropriate the woids? Isn't that what we're all about? The legal thing is its own ball of twine. Let's not get our sensitive new age souls all tangled up in it. I'm afraid that by asking the question initially I raised folks' hackles and introduced a kind of protective qi to the proceedings. There's really nothing to be afraid of. The best thing in the world for a writer is to be ripped off. Remember how Jerry Rubin pulled off the Steal This Book! caper. The problem I see is not how to protect each other from being improperly quoted. The problem is how we can all develop our mutual communication skills to the point where we can communicate what it is that we have to say to the public that is apparently so interested in having information about all these topics we discuss. And I think that the free and open atmosphere on both of these lists is an important ingredient in maintaining an environment in which this development can take place. Which is why I've taken up your time with this. I suggest we do everything within our power to encourage the dissemination of what we all have to say, inviting wider participation in and an increasingly broad audience for what I think are some important things that the folks on these lists have to say.
