READ THIS Dallas Morning News (DMN) has demanded we no longer allow their content posted on CZ

[EST_1986]

You can't even link to their website?

That seems pretty idiotic on their part.

very stupid to take away clicks from a website honestly, hope it backfires quickly

It does. Especially when you have their writers posting their content with a link on Twitter constantly.

I wonder if the cut and paste snips are the issue. Surely they cannot be that unreasonable.

FWIW, I plan on firing off a complaint email to them and let them know I won't bother reading their stuff anymore.

The only reason I even go to the DMN website to read stuff there is through links here. I'll click on a story linked here, read it and then bounce around their website reading other articles.

Stupid decision on their part.

They have to be allowing a comment from us and a link
its directing traffic to them

or is a link also being forbidden?

 

[Big D]

Prime example of why print media and other antiquated industries get run over by the internet. They have no idea.

Please read my earlier post(s).

Bad move on their part. Their posts here lead many to click on other articles they have. Oh well, go to hell!

Could the newsfeed zone be the issue? The newsbots sometimes post the whole article.

We received a legal Cease & Desist order from the law firm of Dallas Morning News (DMN) today requesting we no longer allow DMN content on the site.

It's unfortunate given that we usually send DMN's web site several hundred users in traffic each day, but it is their choice and their content so we will abide with their legal order.

On the bright side, there are a lot of other great Cowboys news sources available which will help all of us keep up with the latest Cowboys news.

I hate them.

 

[Teague31]

We've officially hit the big time!!!

 

[Setackin]

**** them then...

 

[Alexander]

Unfortunately, this will include Sturm's content as well.

You have no other choice. Ban him. That'll teach 'em.

Their legal order states all of their content. As I said, we have no desire to police their content on the site nor do we want to mess with any grey areas.

I understand that a lot of you are applying common sense ideas to the request, but they are just not an option and even if they were, it is not something we can adequately police and enforce.

So funny when they use Broaddus' work on their site and charge people for the content that is not theirs to sell.

Or print transcripts from lot of radio interviews

 

[Ranched]

That's about the most ridiculous thing I've heard in quite sometime. Doesn't make sense what so ever.

 

[TheCount]

So did they give any reasoning why? It just seems odd that a site or paper wouldn't be ok with a link to their website to read the article.

I would guess it's a blanket policy they have. Who has the time to police every internet forum to make sure no one is pasting the entire article with or without a link?

That is a lot of what they do now. They and other media outlets have pretty much fired all of their journalists in favor of cheap kids that can scour the Internet and radio for content to post on their website

 

[John813]

Good way to lose viewers.

I sure as hell don't surf random Dallas newspaper websites for content. I go to forums that link said content.
Sure others are that way now too.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

If we want breakin' cowboys news, go to Rotoworld NFL or Dallascowboys.com

 

[jazzcat22]

They suck anyway, I stopped reading it a couple of years ago. Won't make much of a difference, if any.

Yes, they have are a rag paper and rag reporting. I have not bought one of their papers in 10 years at least. Nor do I ever go to their website, unless it was a link from here.
I won't go there now even with this BS from them. They don't have any news that can be can not be obtained elsewhere.
I won't miss JJT or Goose and their stupid opinions. Not that I really ever read them for a while anyway.

 

[robbieruff]

Very paradoxical and one might say hypocritical since they have social sharing options associated with all of their articles. I can understand having guidelines but cease and desist?!! Can't unteach stupid I guess.
