For anyone else who objects to diyprojects.info using their posts
Today I received the following communication from The Planet who it appears host diyprojects. If anyone else wants to complain, here's the gist of it "If you submit a DMCA complaint using the format located he http://www.theplanet.com/legal/ we will investigate immediately. -- Thanks, Policy Enforcement The Planet Internet Services, Inc. http://www.theplanet.com/aup/" The information contained in this post may not be published in, or used by http://www.diyprojects.info -- geoff |

I saw it more of a matter of principle I don't mind google archives, but I do object to a forum lifting all the uk-diy postings without consent and treating it as it's own -- geoff |

I saw it more of a matter of principle I don't mind google archives, but I do object to a forum lifting all the uk-diy postings without consent and treating it as it's own [several bits snipped] So long as the attributions are retained, who cares? The biggest nuisance was that people would register and use the forum to post. This would break the text of the posts they were replying to, including the headers, meaning that some news servers and definitely google would not reconstruct the threads properly. Quoting conventions also went completely out the window. I don't have a problem with someone (e.g. google) archiving usenet groups, but I do have a problem with a poorly scripted site which results in bad newsgroup posts which then disrupt the original group. For an example of broken headers in responses, see: http://tinyurl.com/42qkm is the broken response to Andy Hall's message in this thread: http://tinyurl.com/46q8u And for broken quoting: http://tinyurl.com/56kgr So that's why I wasn't happy about diyprojects.info. |
