This is a slippery slope. Using Joe’s logic, I could have an entire website, in the vein of the Huffington Post, being driven by by-lines of famous folks, except without their consent.
Using Joe’s logic, I am entitled to their words and entitled to use them as a by-line because they are public figures.
Does anyone else see something wrong with this and how many would object?
Sorry, I should’ve clarified. I meant “public sector” not public figure. In otherwords, we own the words produces by members of the government, etc. So yes, you could (and maybe someone should) produce an entire huffpo just with public officials bylines and speeches. It’s a good idea.
Hmm. Hasn’t someone already? How hard is it to put a link in the Clusterstock CMS anyway?
Interesting. I’d never thought of Federalreserve.gov as a kind-of public-sector HuffPo. But now that you put it that way…
