Hello Bill,

On Sunday October 18 2015 10:14, you wrote to me:

 MvV>> What article are you referring to? I didn't mention any specific
 MvV>> article, I was referring to the Fidonews publication as a whole.

 BM> The article that started all this discussion.

There was no specific article that started this thread.

 BM>  Do you think this subject just popped out of thin air?

I do not think, I /know/ what triggerd this thread.

You obviously have not followed the thread. What triggerd this thread was a
message form Janis in Z1C that leaked out to the rest of the world and that was
commented on by Lee.

 BM>> doesn't mean actual scrutiny is off the table.

 MvV>> Ehh? Are you privy to how Bj.rn verifies authorship of submitted
 MvV>> articles?

What copyright violation did Björn commit. What was there to clearfor him?

 BM> It wasn't till after the fact the error was found therefore, a printed

The original author? What did he or she do that requires an aplogy?

Methinks you are trying to distract by pointing the finger somewhere else. It
is not Björn or anyone writing for Fdionews that is under fire. It is Janis
that violates copyright by distributing copies of Fidonews without explicit
permission from the holders of the intelltual property rights.

 BM> YMMV... but tht's normally how it's done throughtout the world.

In ALL of the world?


Cheers, Michiel
