  • Mainstream media meltdown!—"Newspapers will never be the same. But what happens to democracy if the Web business model can't fund journalism?" Salon
  • Newspapers go all-in for copyright fight against clipping service
  • Is This Canadian Newspaper Breaking Copyright Law?—"If someone wants to post a quote from anything written by the National Post, they are now presented with pop-up box seeking a licence that starts at $150 for the Internet posting of 100 words with an extra fee of 50 cents for each additional word (the price is cut in half for non-profits). None of this requires a licence or payment. If there was a fair dealing analysis, there is no doubt that copying a hundred words out of an article would easily meet the fair dealing standard. In fact, the Supreme Court of Canada has indicated that copying full articles in some circumstances may be permitted."
