\"\" .. T<\/strong>here’s been more action s<\/em>ince we wrote<\/a> about the Schenectady Daily Gazette<\/em> cracking down on local internet forums that were infringing on its copyright (by posting entire articles and not even linking to the article). The Gazette<\/em> says<\/a> linking to them with a summary and short quote is fine, but lifting the whole article or editorial goes too far.\u00a0 Yesterday, Pat Zollinger, Administrator of the local internet forum The Unadulterated Schenectady<\/a><\/em>, received the official desist letter from the Gazette<\/em>\u2019s lawyer, Michael J. Grygiel<\/a> of the Albany office<\/a> of Hiscock & Barclay<\/a>. Click to see the Letter<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 You\u2019ll find a Comment from Pat <\/a>and my response below.<\/p>\n

A<\/em>t Pat’s Schdy.Info<\/a><\/em> and at the Rotterdam Internet forum<\/a>, there is a lot of talk that this whole crackdown is political, and Schenectady\u2019s Mayor Brian U. Stratton is behind it.\u00a0 For the reasons given in my response below and my reply at the Rotterdam Forum<\/a>, I disagree.\u00a0 Of course, we don\u2019t have all the facts and aren\u2019t all that good at reading minds.<\/p>\n

Request for Copyright Experts and other Opinionated Lawyers<\/strong>:\u00a0 In another Comment<\/a> submitted around 1 PM today, Pat Zolliner disagrees with my assessment that her repeatedly posting entire articles from the Gazette<\/em> goes beyond Fair Use and is copyright infringement.\u00a0 She says “And I dare to say, David, that even though you are positive that I am infringing on copyright, there will be other lawyers who would interpret it differently.”\u00a0 I invite legal minds with an opinion on this matter to express it in the Comment Section<\/a> of our prior post.<\/p>\n

\"\" F<\/em><\/strong>or years, The Mainichi Daily News<\/em> (an English-language Japanese newspaper) offered a selection of about a dozen haiku every month, some of which we’ve shared here.\u00a0 Although that feature apparently ended last August<\/a>, Mainichi<\/em> now presents a Daily Haiku<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With Tinywords.com<\/em><\/a> silent since last June (when it ended with a Roberta Beary classic<\/a>), you might want to bookmark the Mainichi Daily Haiku<\/em> page<\/a>, for a small haiku surprise each morning.<\/p>\n

Today’s Mainichi<\/em> selection is by our friend Ed Markowski:<\/p>\n

\"\" A<\/em>nd<\/strong>, I just discovered today that Issa is now on Twitter<\/a>.\u00a0 You can get a classic poem from the Japanese Master Kobayashi Issa everyday<\/em> on Twitter, translated by Haiku Guy<\/em> David G. Lanoue.\u00a0 Except that they all come out as one-liners, tiny poems are a fine match for Twitter’s tiny format.\u00a0 Here’s today’s Issa on Twitter:<\/p>\n
