That said, I did add such language here.<BR/><BR/>I'm reminded of letters. Old fashioned letters. If I wrote you a letter, you owned the physical object, the letter, and could destroy it; yet I owned the right to the text of the letter, the copyright, and you could not publish the letter without my permission. Under that theory, I'd think I could delete the comments on my blog.<BR/><BR/>Images: I am constantly surprised at how many internet users don't take into account who owns images; and how much bandwidth they take by the manner in which they link / use an image. I know I don't totally understand all of it, myself, but I am at least aware of the issues.Liz Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16671844475303001610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-3330445815059160562007-07-01T11:22:00.000-04:002007-07-01T11:22:00.000-04:00thanks for the info. i have use the verification ...thanks for the info. i have use the verification thingie on mine, and so haven't had any spam issues. i also haven't deleted any comments, but i don't get many comments, either. and most of those are from friends & family. (i also suppose posting a little more frequently would help. :) )<BR/><BR/>i hadn't thought about comments being the property of the writer, but that made total sense once i read it. i guess i actually remembered something from those copyright lectures in library school! <BR/><BR/>i do read one blog where they've said time & again that they won't publish certain types of comments. and then comments appear that accuse them of deleting comments. then they go through the whole explanation thing again. <BR/><BR/>the image info, imo, is really important. i know of a blog that was forced to shut down b/c so many people were complaining about them stealing images from other sites, and not giving credit. and i know of another where they steal stuff but claim they're using it under the "educational & research" provisions of the copyright law, and is what they say to anyone who questions how & where they got their content. the blog is about a news personality's personal life. no "educational or research" stuff involved whatsoever, unless you're a stalker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
