The view originally appeared in her blog.
Contents of blogs are public domain aren't they?
On what basis?
They are the computer equivalent of graffiti on a wall. They are
accessible to all and anybody can read them free.
So are most newspaper Websites. Are they PD too?
Did you see a newspaper bring a copyright case against somebody
quoting from their website on Internet?
No. (The Shetland Times case was kind of similar, but I can't remember how
it turned out in the end.) But you're changing the question from whether a
blog is protected by copyright (which I maintain it is, while you seem to
maintain it isn't), to whether lawsuits for infringements of such are
likely (which I think we agree they aren't).
Of course it is - anything you write is protected. The question is
whether you'd get anything by suing for breach of copyright, in which
case you'd have to demonstrate the financial loss you suffered, which
for a blog is pretty small.
So says Google, anyway.
The reality is that you have no protection unless you intend to make
lawyers very rich, even them you won't necessarily win as the Dutch
guy with the manuals website has proved.
Well, a thief is a thief, no matter whether he gets away with it or
not.
