Yikes!
Todd, this seems to be saying that no one could in any way quote any
information from any source without explicit permission (with a few
exceptions).
I have seen many instances of people quoting news information that would,
stricly speaking, be prohibited here.
Does it make it more wrong in this instance because of that " +++Begin blatant
stealing of Material+++" disclaimer? That seems to be an intentional attempt at
humor.
He did give the URL of the sources of this info. And all he did was quote
something in its entirety. Each section was clearly delineated and reference
was made to its origin. Should he have re-written it in his own words, or
paraphrased it?
