I suggest you study up on copyright and fair use in publishing in general,
and on the Internet in particular. You seriously oversimplify the issues
that we in the publishing business, print and online, deal with every day.
As long as you don't write and publish any books or articles, you probably
won't get yourself into any serious trouble by following your own
mis-informed advice.
Lots of good ongoing discussion about these and other publishing issues on
email discussion lists you can join at
http://www2.studiob.com/studiob/index.html -- the people who publish, edit,
and write books for computer users appear to be in the vanguard of figuring
out how fair use in particular applies to images and text originally
published on the Internet and how they can be used, legally, in books and
magazines.
Your continuing insults about me as a journalist are tiresome and idiotic.
As I've explained in private email to you, I have a working knowledge of
these issues in practice, from my experience as a working reporting and
editor for many years, founder and editor-in-chief of two national
magazines, former managing editor for three high-profile Web publishing
operations (www.Adobe.com, www.theangle.com, www.webinn.com), and in my
three current book/online projects. What qualifies you to speak on Internet
or publishing law?
Why don't you try contributing to the discussion of Pynchon for a change
(you do read his novels, don't you?), instead of throwing around a bunch of
half-baked insults. Although your joke about the fart was pretty cute, I've
passed it along to my 10-year-old and he thought it was c o o l, it will be
all over fifth grade next month...
Cordially,
Doug
