I remember that posting.  As I recall, Dave Barry also pointed out
that HE DIDN'T HOLD THE COPYRIGHT on those articles and that some
syndicate or newspaper chain did.  C'mon people, think about it.
All it takes is for some newspaper admin to find out about that
material (which is an increasing probability as the network grows)
and decide he wants to make a big case out of it.  He'd have the
person doing the posting dead to rights, and he might be able
to cause problems for intermediate sites as well.  If you want to
post that stuff (hardly worth the effort, but whatever) then
ASK PERMISSION from the copyright holders.  Stop playing these
games and ask permission before posting copyrighted material.
If they say yes, you're home free.  If not, then TRY to survive
without Dave Barry on the damn network.  You may avoid a
lot of problems down the line when some newspaper admin out to
make a name for himself decides to get "stuffy" about copyrights.
