Mr. Tucker, if you’re reading this, I want you to know that I posted your Daily Article, New Ideas for Roads, in it’s entirety, at Kitco.com. It was deleted by a moderator. Here’s his PM:

Dear pairunoyd,

Your post in “My friend lost…” in the Bar and Grill forum has been deleted due to: Copyright Violation:

You may repost them wih a summary and up to 120 word of the original text. A link to the ariticle is fine.

Copyrighted materials must be limited to 120 words and must give credit to the author. Members may include a link to material of interest to members, but such links must be accompanied by a short and accurate summary of the link in the post. Summaries must be limited to 120 words.

Funny, eh? [:D]

I posted it because the thread involved a debate concerning drunk driving and a man losing his right to bear arms if convicted. I think someone brought up roads and how only the government can build them. Thank you for the article.

I posted this thread as an open letter so that if anyone wishes to respond, they can.

astounding!

Must we beg for them not to protect our “IP”?

I’m telling you, this IP stuff is as much a danger to civilization as socialism.

The Kitco moderators are simply following a blanket policy that protects them from IP hassles like C&D (cease and desist) letters from lawyers.

I do the same thing on my forum. It’s unfortunate, but most community websites don’t have the manpower to track down copyright permission for each posting.

Anyway, linkback and 120 words is pretty fair.

I agree. Nothing against Kitco moderators. They’re very fair and I appreciate their work.
