Digest.

27-02-2012 6:54pm#1I've been told to get the digest tomorrow. There's some writings (if you can call them that) in there from Des that sounds like good reading, from the snippets that I've heard so far.
Anyone got it, and they can scan and put up here for the rest of us to read?
(If there's some part of the charter that says that's not to be done - please don't get into trouble over it)

Can't wait till tomorrow

Wouldn't bother my hole buying it. I gave up on it last year when I came to the conclusion that my 18 month old could lay out the articles in a more readable fashion.
Was only chatting to your Kilkenny friends L & G last night, good shooting buddies of mine!

Okay, story is that Grizz's scans definitely break copyright law, so we can't repost those. The legal eagles tell us that we can't even post the bit that talks about us under "fair use" because basicly, that doesn't exist in Irish law as such (that's a heavy paraphrasing, not a legal statement btw ). I've emailed the Digest asking for permission to reprint that section of it, so the ball's with them now.
Bazza, the synopsis of the article, taking away most of the rudeness (if we took away all of it, the synopsis would be... much shorter) is something like this:Des Crofton wrote:- Boards.ie is full of idiots.
- The NARGC meat handling course was unfairly criticised on boards. It's not a money making exercise by the NARGC. The course was a legal requirement from the EU and if we didn't do it, a commercial interest would have and they'd have charged a lot of money to do so. The course is brilliant, the NARGC isn't a profit-making body.
- I (Des) won't come on boards and debate openly because they're all cowards hiding behind anonymity and you're required to be anonymous there
- The comment on the high court cases was even stupider. SLK2005 is lying because nobody's contacted us about their case to object to the settlement. We had €750,000 at risk in the first three test cases alone, "Does anyone in their right mind think someone or some organisation is going to put up that kind of money and then hand control of the cases over to someone else? Time gentlemen to wake up and smell the coffee." [I honestly can't paraphrase that properly, so I'm just quoting Des directly there; I don't think we run into issues by quoting one sentence like that.]
- The settlement got something for all 168 cases, so why did we need to consult anyone? If SLK2005 really has an objection to the settlement, he shouldn't have a gun as he's irrational.
- Boards.ie is full of gob****es who almost lost us pistols in 2007, and they'll do it again because they're stupid and greedy.
I will say this - it seems Des has never read Rule 5 or the reasons for anonymity in here, or the point that you don't have to be anonymous in here.0 -

Check the licencing terms for the entire magazine Grizzly, they should be up near the front page somewheres.Grizzly 45 wrote: »Well THAT explains why I've been getting PMs for this article all day..:p
Hmm,I dont see any circled C with the authors name and or date behind this article. Kind of important for a copyright claim....:rolleyes: Not to mind stating in what format,written,photocopied,electronic media etc that it cant be reproduced in .
Actually, they areSo it now seems then we had better do away with all the press clippings then???As this could be now classified as copyright breach as well???:rolleyes:
We've been advised that in future, just post the lead-in and the link, so that's what the press clippings page will look like from now on; no idea yet if we have to go back and do some editing (the press haven't raised objections yet).0 -

Depends on the video, the terms and so on. Posting from youtube is fine; the licencing terms put the onus on youtube not to host stuff that you can't look at. I've had some formal training in copyright stuff (mostly the bits that apply to software) - it's not exactly cut and dried (hell, it makes the firearms act look simple), so I'm just going by what the boards.ie legal team tell me. A man's got to know his limitationswould posting videos and such not break copyrights also? 0
