I can’t find an email address for you, but check your logs or stats and see if you find what I did. I did an article on this today, took on FAST and I’ll be darned if they didn’t come calling for THREE hours, two sessions, one going on as I type, taking every single thing I’ve ever written.

I always check the links to make sure they’re working, they had to have noticed in their stats my site was there and I really went off about this.

Yikes!

You missed his point idiot, your rhetoric is just as bad and/or more harmful to the p2p movement, as illustrated by your highly intelligent response.

Get with it, be part of the solution not the problem as he was trying to point out. Instead of threatening and whining, get involved.

Spoken like a true RIAA infilTRAITOR.

The “little kiddies” gave you away.

This site is cool and always up-to-date and people should be aware of the dirty pool being played by not only the RIAA but now Reuters.

A hell of a lot of sites grab p2pnet articles and post them as written. Sometimes they give us credit. Sometimes they don’t. We only re-print entire articles from sites we know don’t mind, and we always credit and link to them.

But we NEVER use entire wire service (ie, Reuters) articles. We excerpt from them and put references to the source throughout the story. Cheers! Jon

i think Jefferson would agree the original copyrights IP patents is saying once people can get ahold of it you can non longer control it. its against human nature to try hold a idea and not share it or try to profit off it in monetary ways especially when it’s large corporations using the violence of the state to enforce it. people can look beyond these soulless system. The multitudes who use p2p speak for themselves people have embraced sharing over trading. This is part of the anti-capitalist movement just like opensource.
We are learning how to empower ourselves from the bottom up in decentralized ways and the imperialist state system and the sell-outs who have been co-opted by it will use all there violent repressive tactics to try and put us in their box but they will never win. people will always survive past these entities of control and show great mass resistance to the domination.

IP violates human rights

Haven’t you heard of intellectual property rights…..Reuters has every right to go after people using their content without a license.

What site did you say you are from?

Go to Reuters contact page, then you can tell them where to go, they’ll probably first off want to go to your site and catalogue all of your infringements….moron. IANAL and neither are you, think before you speak, you do more of a diservice to unfettered info sharing than 10 RIAAs combined.

P2P biggest problems are the little kiddie mouthpieces who give the RIAA and the like ammo for the cannons of BS.

“The Internet is for sharing of information. I would like to suggest that Reuters stick to paper and ink if they don’t like it. What a load of crap.”

This is the exact kind of attitude the RIAA et al love to qoute in front of judges saying look at the prevailing attitude of disrespect for IP etc., whether or not you meant it like that or not, it comes of as rash, uneducated and disrespectful.

I think this is nuts. I signed up for abc’s rss feed and had to promise not to use things without permission. I use parts of reuters stuff on my own site, always hyperlinkng to it, but on the basis of this new tactic, if I could speak to the Reuters people I would tell them where to go.

This is alarming, especially if others sites like Reuters do the same thing.

Please keep updating this.

looks like your site could be in for a rough ride….

I always wondered how it was ok for you to basically reprint all of these other indivs/orgs stories without permission.
