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

[The Fonz]

Reality you should also ban their IPs. blacklist them

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

How do you know they don't have rights agreements to use his stuff?

What many of you may not be aware of is that newspapers and television stations pay for "rights" to other newspapers' content.

For example, the paper I used to work for had an agreement with AP. The stipulation was that we could use AP's articles and every other newspaper that subscribed to AP.

It's quite possible that DMN has a "rights" agreement with other Cowboys sports publications. So we really don't know if they're taking other news organization's stuff.

I do not know why a website forbidden to show material from another website would have any desire to publish links that would support traffic to the site that reached for its lawyers.

Probably because he said they do not, pretty simple.

Isn't the idea to get more people interested in their content? Good Riddance then. With all that stupidity, That's the perfect job for Steven A Hack

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.

That's a 1 month ban for you!

Hope they let Sturm know since he posts his stuff here

Hey did not know he is a member here! What is his userid?

 

[JonJon]

This smells of a lame law firm with nothing better to do but to try and flex their muscle, only to tear said muscle in the process. Seriously, what kind of company does not like free traffic and advertisement? A company that is soon to close it's doors, is who.

 

[JonJon]

Right, they are in fear that more people come here to get info than go to their lame website.

Well, I doubt many here plan on bookmarking the DMN website anytime soon. I'd rather peruse twitter or go to DC.com for relevant information.

 

[JonJon]

A link is not content in any shape or form is it?

I don't see how a link is content. How can you own the address of an article?

Apparently, they do not want people going to their website, for some odd reason. I think we all should oblige their desire.

 

[tyke1doe]

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

Amen!

 

[tyke1doe]

Probably because he said they do not, pretty simple.

Who said they didn't have a right's agreement? Broaddus?

If so, I stand corrected.

Yes, Broaddus said so himself and indicated he has a problem with them using his stuff and charging people for it.

No problem, he said this not long ago on one of the DC.com shows, he was clearly not pleased.

Fair enough. I was mistaken with respect to your comment.

 

[tyke1doe]

So does this mean administrators here have to go back and delete the links from previous threads or does the cease and desist apply from hence forth?

 

[justbob]

Well Bye.Didn't like them anyway.

 

[dogberry]

Can Reality post stories from before 1923 just to annoy the DMN?

 

[Trouty]

Hey did not know he is a member here! What is his userid?

@Sturm1310

He posts here quite a bit during the season, usually the Monday or Tuesday after the game. He occasionally answers questions from his articles, too.

they still have a cowboys section???

I think everybody understand that this is a, well, stupid move, on behalf of DMN. However, it's their move to make. I would just remind everybody that they have basically forbidden content. While we can debate the intelligence of it all, or the legality, it is not any of us who are responsible. It is Reality who is ultimately responsible. It is his butt on the line. Because of this, I would simply ask all members to just take the request to heart and abide by it. Yeah, it's stupid but it's what we have to do. No DMN content, at all and that's that.

It's a shame, I really enjoyed reading Sturm.
