So I updated my twitter yesterday and I came across a tweet from boards telling, not asking mind you, media people the following...

"Media peeps, please note - unless you have written permission from us or the poster, you do NOT have permission to republish from Boards.ie"

Would you be bothered if you saw your post appearing in the media?

I would have no problem seeing my comments used. Putting comments up on the net is pretty much making them available to everyone

Would you mind?

Donkey Oaty · 26-08-2010 08:59PM

I'd mind. It's not like anyone on here would ever reproduce anything from anywhere else without permission.

Posts from AH, no.
They could cause trouble..

I once had some local media outlet contacting me via PM a few years back over some issue I had commented on.

No, wouldnt bother me. Once you post on the internet its there, and there for good. You will fint ths thread tomorrow on google search, so what difference does it make if its here or on some bloggers tweeters site?

Scuid Mhór · 26-08-2010 09:06PM

seeing as my posts are sarcastic or satirical, i'd find it pretty funny if my comments on something were published and misinterpreted as something real.

I don't know
maybe depends on the context?

Ask Biggins. He's in the Daily Mail! :pac:

easyeason3 · 26-08-2010 09:08PM

Yeah I'd mind.
There's reason why I don't post under my own name.

RoundyMooney · 26-08-2010 09:10PM

Happens quite a lot, lazy journalism tbh.

Bit of a pisser actually, and IANAL, but boards can get it's arse sued for comments it publishes, we know that, but yet I imagine it's quite difficult for it to claim ownership of the comments that lazy journeymen journos quote from here for a few lines of copy.

...And the Times, Indo' and a few others besides being dragged onto TV and radio!

I should learn to keep my mouth shut - but then I have to be able to hear the sound of my own voice for a change when the other half is not around! :pac:

...Sorry dear, still love ya!

The Star quoted one of my posts on here in their Pear Bulmers arse-ripper story.

RoundyMooney · 26-08-2010 09:14PM

As a matter of fact we have a journo on one of my favourite papers :rolleyes: who makes paragraphs and paragraphs from made up anecdotes, and I bet know she's not the only one.

26-08-2010 09:15PM

What for Biggins?

I had an idea once to manufacture a news story on here, so unbelievable as to not be true (which it obviously wont be), but get enough users to swear that they had experienced it/seen it/heard of it and see if any of the major news outlets pick it up and run with it.

Would certainly highlight the laziness of the media here.

Yeah I would.

I don't don't mean this in a smart way but Mods are always warning us about posting nasty remarks about people due to the fear of getting sued. Fair enough I can understand where they are coming from.
So if I started slagging off, say the Independent & they sued Boards for defamation, why would it then be ok for them to come along & quote posters in an article & not expect the same legal action in return?
After all they are not paying Boards or the poster for the privilage of taking material to construct an article?

And it's a lazy practise if another website or form of media has to resort to 'borrowing' material from a succesful site in order to appeal to their target market.

Agreed, hence why boards dont want material republished.

Having said that, i dont care personally about what i say being published - i say that however knowing that my posts are owned by boards

OK - it has to be something that is at least somewhat convincing.

I got a PM the other day from an RTE researcher asking me if I'd speak 'off-record' to him about a subject I made some posts on a while back.. I told him that anything I said on here was in the public domain and off-record as far as I'm concerned, and that I wouldn't feel comfortable discussing what I post here with a 3rd party.

But no I wouldn't care if I was quoted.. and tbh I would have thought that it's perfectly alright for people to quote what is posted here

You drank some pear cider and got the Brad Pitts and it made the front page of the Mirror? That's brilliant!
