Red Five Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 What is the difference in posting articles from Rivals/247/On3 vs The Athletic vs ESPN+ vs OWH/LJS (which are paywalled after 5 free articles a month)? If you can't post anything from the "recruiting sites" then why can we from the others? They are all paywalled. It seems like it is ok to say "Callahan said XYZ" instead of linking to the article where it is actually in print? Quote Link to comment

Linking to it is always ok. 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 11 hours ago, RedDenver said: I believe you can paraphrase the article but not copy it. Linking to it is always ok. This is correct. You can even post a snippet - like a short paragraph - but not a significant portion of the article. Posting a sentence or two, or a short paragraph, can be acceptable under Fair Use, for purposes like commentary and criticism. The trick is to keep it brief. It won't prevent Callahan from messaging the Mods and asking to have his content removed. And likely the Mods will just remove it because it's easier than arguing with the copyright holder about Fair Use. I totally understand the frustration of having your post removed, and it can be confusing when you see other articles posted without removal. The difference here is that Callahan is local and he or one of the staff is going to check this site pretty much daily. 1 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 So the difference in posting a paragraph or 2 (and linking the article) from On3 vs The Athletic is that Callahan gets his panties in a bunch? Point taken. Quote Link to comment
