Washington Post article: bloggers vs. fair use

Rob Lawson, via Barb Kaplowitz, noted this article from the Washington Post about what’s fair use and what’s misappropriation.  I think there’s going to be a growing recognition that while the newspapers may have lost the classified ads, help wanted, and automotive sections due to complacency, the public has an interest in not letting the journalism be stolen and the need for protection is at least as great as the need for protection for music, movies, and other artistic endeavors.

Stay tuned.  We will surely hear more about this issue.
