Clearly because you have a legal right that distinguishes between online copies and offline copies? Please explain. (Once again, I'm asking about legal rights because you claim to be basing your objections on your rights.) >> What is the legal distinction you're drawing >> here? (I ask for the "legal distinction" because you are articulating >> your concern in terms of what you purport to be violations of your >> legal rights.) >> > > Actually, I'm purporting them to be violations of my moral rights. How are you distinguishing between "moral rights" and "legal rights"? A moral right is a kind of legal right, in those jurisdictions that recognize moral rights. > But the > distinction is pretty obvious - in one case the page is a click > away, in the > other case it at least requires finding internet access and typing > in a url, > and quite possibly requires jumping through even more hoops than that. So if you were unhappy that your attribution was at the back of a book, because a reader has to turn to the end and read through a lot of small print in order to find your name, that would give you a basis for objecting to that form of attribution? > Additionally, printed copies will almost surely last longer than the > url > remains accessible.

The advantage of course applies both to online and offline copies. >> But an online attribution on a separate page (or server) when the >> article is offline is *not* >> "direct"?

Are you sure that's the direction in which you want to take your argument? --Mike _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
