That'd break deep links all over the place.

In this case I'd suggest not worrying about it unless and until the
Daily Mail actually object - in which case we ask for the post to be
deleted promptly - and to take care in posting full articles in
future.

Well, Mailman is a piece of code, and all the data is raw text.

Suggest "only list members can view the archive" if you are really worried.

Not easily. It basically requires a dev to go in and do it. They
regard this as a substantial PITA ... Listadmins don't have the
ability to delete posts from the archive.

Copyright isn't about claiming ownership, it is about copying, hence
the name. If you copy someone you don't own the copyright to, have
permission to copy, or falls under one of the exceptions to copyright
law, you are committing copyright violation. Posting a link is not
copying anything (other than the URL, which isn't copyrightable due to
being insubstantial).

Not necessarily; not if it's for the purposes of criticism or review, or for

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Daily Mail on Flagged Revisions

2009-08-26 Thread Brian McNeil
On which basis it would be wisest to *not* post this material here.

 

I base that on having been reprimanded for similar actions on other lists,
and feedback from the technical people that it is very
difficult/inconvenient to remove posts from the archive.

 

So while it might be convenient, someone will have serious headaches if the
Daily Mail demands the content be removed from the archive.

I snipped half a dozen paragraphs that had been copied word-for-word from
