Removing posts that look like copyright violation to me is not disagreeing with anyone’s point of view. That’s just basic moderation. In my judgment, seven paragraphs with 700 words (over 25% of the article) goes well beyond fair use. I’d have removed the post even if you were agreeing with me. Eater et al. would like people to go to their sites to read their articles, and so would I.

I’ve read copyright law, opinions in Campbell vs. Acuff-Rose and other fair-use cases, legal-press commentary, and books about fair use and appropriation, and seen how judges come to opposite conclusions on the same or similar facts. Lawyers don’t have a monopoly on informed opinion.

I will agree with that much, as a site admin for wineberserkers we highly highly discouraged a full scale copy of text. I didn’t see how much text was posted here but when it’s a large wall of text we take it down.

We’ve had take down notices sent to us. Easier to just remove than fight it.

Continuing to beat the dead horse, from that two-year-old Eater article:

Several of those interviewed say that the apology’s placement underneath a caption for mugwort mochi made it difficult to find and thus felt insincere.

It was just as easy to find as the original, which was a caption for a photo of sakura mochi.

You just missed Beserkerday which is an insane sale on wine, food, stemware and a bunch of other stuff. Look for it on the board and put a reminder in your calendar for next year. I filled up my cabinet with Glasvin this year. Thanks @David_K

there’s a whole part of the forum that’s only accessible to registered/logged in users. Pretty much Misc chat
