Mark It Zero!
As if on cue, Blogger informed Zero Hedge today that it had received six takedown notices. Six. Blogger helpfully provides the following detail:
We are asking that you please remove the allegedly infringing content in your blog. If you do not do this within the next 3 days (by 7/19/09), we will be forced to remove the posts in question. If we did not do so, we would be subject to a claim of copyright infringement, regardless of its merits. (Emphasis ours).
So very polite. Far less polite is this:
Please note that repeated violations to our Terms of Service may result in further remedial action taken against your Blogger account.

Well to be fair, you guys do post a lot of copyrighted content... although thank god for it!
Its control through information. Many of the materials posted here are from firms and organizations that make endless statements about what the public and their customers should be doing with their money...but the research and reasoning behind their views are copyrighted.
Every time t3 says "its complicated" to an inquiring pubic the soul of an honest fiduciary cries. If these pubic servants and CEOs can understand it, then they can take the time to explain it to the rest of us. We have time, and they can submit their answers in writing.
Casting a vote is the ability to make a choice, but it means so much less if it cannot be an informed choice. We all appreciate you posting these things that we otherwise would not see. So keep pimpin, pimpin
Fuck em'. You have the new site up and running. I say repost the stuff they want pulled down. Repost it in bold, underlined and in bright blood red font.
x2
thatis nearly the dictionary description of Lubricate
Would you pls tell us which six items?
fuck, didn't the house of dimon just say that commercial real estate was cursed (i know td you have been saying that for months) and WTF if SPG isn't up 2%?
You must have missed the counter-arguement: "CIT news is bad for retail"
The smart ones doubled down today! Except on KIM, which continues to underperform by 3-4% per day.
Marla, GS probably leaning on DOJ to start enforcing copyright laws
Either that or dennis kneale having a busy day at work calling up all the people who's posts you have pasted from, asking if they had given Sero Hedge permission to publish their material.
Well I wouldn't call a friendly call to one of the branches of Government Sacks "leaning"
File a counterclaim alleging that's it's not copyrighted material. You have that right under the DMCA.
Of course, now we know why the server's aren't located in the good ol' U.S.A.
Fair use with a link... after all, you're not on an AP client contract... Are you?
mark it 8, dude!
I think Goldman sachs is in violation of the colonoscopics patent; and they dont just look around. A real violation. What do you tell a Goldmans sachs bonus baby with two black eyes? Answer: Nothing,you already told them twice!
I'd be interested in hearing which items are alleged to be infringing, and by whom.
I can't recall seeing anything in your posts that would violate copyrights. What did I miss?
I would also be interested in knowing which items they claim are copyright violations...so that I can download and/or save them before they're removed...
Does that mean I have to erase my brain content?
Roubini caves and calls recession to end this year - on behalf of all the loyal Roubini bears I predict that RGEmonitor has seen its best days as has the good professor - to think that Bove and Cramer made that call months before - at least your in good company Nouriel -
Well he did recently post an entire textbook on High Frequency Trading.... But the others I have no idea.
It's a link to .docstoc
So can anyone please explain why roubini now says the worst of the financial crisis is over??

The remaining strong bears are starting to topple. Not all of them will, but this is starting to be the sign of the top of the first strong rally (end of B wave, or whatever to call it).
A quick search of Bloomberg using the phrase "Roubini" shows that he has been consistent in making this recovery call since May of this year. Why it is making news now only underscores the faulty memory of the marketplace -- that, or it became a convenient excuse to conduct some mob-behavior rally riot.
In the first quarter of this year, Roubini was calling for the S&P to end 2009 at around 400. Which just goes to show -- Roubini is another two-handed economist ("....on the other hand....") who adores the attention he gets.
I don't know if he's right this time or will be wrong. Either way, I don't act on his vascillations in outlook and will continue to stay out of this market.
one word: Summers and Roubini's less than arms length relationship with that nice man, not to mention a shot at a big ticket administration / treasury role = read his recent post of unabashed adoration for Tim Geithner ooo

Watch your P's and Q's then. Links will often do and when that isn't possible summaries are good. The main risk is lawsuits of course which is a separate issue. I'm surprised you don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal bills already.
Eventually this site and others like it will have to embrace a distributed and anarchic model. Until the web is fully controlled.
I'm not sure what this in reference to but....just post all the infringing material on wikileaks and link to it if really necessary lol.
Roubini still calls for a significant correction in equities and commodities. It is hard to see why the market would go up on this statement, but they will turn anything into a green shoot.
Which blog post(s) received specific complaints?
Roubini just stated his comments were taken out of context.

Now can we have juicy details on exactly what articles are involved? It would be interesting to see who is beneficiary in terms of PR? So we can draw a conclusion on what is the motivation.
Are those related to the FED, or the ridiculous prospect to buy some tanking RE without appropriate disclosure of potential risks. Even worse, there could be misrepresentation of facts. If pawn realizes, it might sue.
Invite them to Paper Street to discuss.
On queue..
Amazing.
Yes love America ,,, as much as I love the blood sucking squid ..
Congratulations citizens..
have to laugh at this one..
ZH in firing line of FTC?
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2009/06/22/ftc-go-after-blogg...
marla, please at least repost all 6 and tell your readers here are the articles that we have to take down by such and such time...and all the comments have to go too?
So how long before they go after Google Reader for allowing people to read the RSS feed from the new site?
FEMA camps will be filled by somebody!
Marla, please repost (or link to or otherwise identify) the offending items. Some of us might be interested in setting up mirror sites.
Why does this matter anymore?
Your Swedish host provider will protect you, right? Just shutdown the Blogger site.
