This is great news. Since bloggers are not journalists, according to Mayor Bloomburg, then we could get the blotter, and scoop those old-fashioned rags!
I work in IT at a school, and Have written entire sql databases (well, mysql, we don't want it to break), php code attached to it, and html with svg inside of that, to create clickable maps that link to inventory. None of it has copyright (or left) and I assume that when I move on, someone else will likely edit the heck out of it, and I have no problem with that. Why is it that only holywood and silicon valley think they should get paid for work they did years ago? I get paid to be here, and do my job, I stop doing my job, I stop getting paid, and it is that way for about 90% of the free (as in beer) world.
Techdirt is a blog? I thought it was a news site! Crap, that means for all this time I have been following a blog and not a "serious" news site.
Really, just keep up the good work, the Dirt is on my iGoogle for a reason, right next to ARS, just good reporting and good insight into the virtual world that I inhabit.
Techdirt has not posted any stories submitted by Jay Fude.
Thanks
Thank the judge that let us know that if you come up with a good enough excuse, the constitution is flexable.
Great news

Holy Cow!
