While I recognize your perspective, and appreciate your need to protect content authors, the use of your content I referred to and the way in which we did it has been reinforced as fair use time and again. Not really the point and I don't really want to rehash all that as we settled all that in email last week. I use it as an example of practice that is a bit heavy handed and that's all. Thanks again for stopping by. Thanks Rich.

The reason that StartupNation has to be cautious about this principle is that unlike the NY Times that "owns" all of its content, StartupNation often does not pay for its content and it is also owned by the writers. We have to be diligent in protecting our writers' rights. That's how StartupNation has created so much valuable free business advice content so quickly - by buildig the confidence of people who submit their work to us and trust that we won't abuse it or knowingly let it get used in unauthorized ways. aaron,
