Darla recently wrote about a content aggregator (Wireless Watch, hereafter referred to as ‘that aggregator’) who was not only violating her copyrights, but possibly of many other fine writers. The copyright for Darla’s content is attribution (via the Creative Commons license she publishes under). But what about the others?
Yet, reading the list of sites that are being used as sources (Yours Truly, sadly, isn’t on the list) I realized that these are pretty much the best mobile writers out there.
So, thank you Darla, for bringing to our attention ‘that aggregator’ and notifying others that they should make sure ‘that aggregator’ complies with their copyrights.
But, also, thank you for publishing this list of great mobile writers.

So, I guess what I’m saying is… who the hell as the right to republish my stuff? Have control over my feedsm get revenue from my hard work and then control the amount of revenue that I get from them?
*But DO NOT use ‘that naughty aggregator’ until they straighten out the pesky copyright issues and give credit where credit is due
Charlie, you are on my list… and thats all that matters 🙂
Actually, the list was my doing, Charlie. It was a tedious thing to produce too. I provided DM, my bud, with the code so she could publish it without duplicating the effort to build the links.
