This is really starting to get on my nerves. STOP ADVERTISING YOUR PAPER HERE. Stories from the corporate media belong on the CORPORATE MEDIA page. The tag lines on your posts undermine the non-corporate climate of the whole site.

I welcome all interesting articles concerning D2K protests. Whether the media is for-profit or not. The point is to inform as many people as possible and to encourage discussion and dialog.

The corporate media link page is good but does not allow comments, discussion, and dialog.

There is no need to fear posting copyrighted material on Indy Media websitea, since they are non-profit websites, and thus fall under fair use laws. See my website:

*Drug war and progressive media news sites. How to legally post media, press, audio, and video articles on non-profit websites. Independent Media Center, CannabisNews.com, MAPinc.org, CommonDreams.org, etc..

Examples of sites that legally post many copyrighted press and media articles. The key factor for legal posting of copyrighted media articles is that the site must be a non-profit site. That means not having any commercial advertising such as commercial banner ads, etc..
