Perhaps some of you wine scholars and internet posters might benefit from actually reading what copyright is and what is protected. I think this virtually difinitive of my opinion that our posts here are NOT protected. Again, I would contend ours are more of conversations on a bulliten board vs a published literary article. There might be a few posts that rise to that level, but not in this group. IMHO.
My post is in no way in support of the other sites....but I don't think most have done anything illegal. Any that change the names as Mark has stated...that is different as in that case it could be plagiarism
