In another gross misunderstanding of the role online blogs and news aggregators play in the new information economy, a high-level conservative judge has proposed banning links to online content without permission from the source.
In a post on his own blog entitled "The Future of Newspapers", US Appeals judge Richard Posner argues:
"Expanding copyright law to bar online access to copyrighted materials
without the copyright holder's consent, or to bar linking to or
paraphrasing copyrighted materials without the copyright holder's
consent, might be necessary to keep free riding on content financed by
online newspapers from so impairing the incentive to create costly
news-gathering operations that news services like Reuters and the
Associated Press would become the only professional, nongovernmental
sources of news and opinion.
