RationalWiki is reprinting large portions of an article I did with Robert Marks that far exceeds anything permissible under “fair use” copyright protections. I was getting ready to contact my attorney about having them remove our article from their website (go here — I’ve saved this page in case it changes as a consequence of this post), but couldn’t find any contact information on the site.
Onneksi RationalWikin omistaja Trent Toulouse ilmestyy UD:n ketjuun. Käyntikortteja vaihdellaan, ja siinä samassa Toulouse ihmettelee paria asiaa:
Anyway, fair use is a complex issue, and more than a few cases have up held the full copying of a work, though other cases have found infringement with just a few sentences.
Issues to consider, we are a non-profit, educational resource. The copied portioned are copied for the purposes of criticism. Much like the use of “Imagine” in “Expelled.” Also IEEE is the primary copy right holder I believe. And the fact that this is an “academic” publication should all be weighed in your decision about how you want to pursue this.
I am curious why this is a battle you are so eager to fight?
Lakimiehien laukaisua odotellessa Dembski on varmasti kirjoittamassa vastinetta RationalWikissä kirjoitettuihin kommentteihin hänen ja Marksin paperista.
