Please discuss.
Website publication time change Published: Thursday, July 29, 2010 8:35 PM CDT Out of respect to our print edition subscribers and their committment to using The News-Dispatch as their local news source, The News -Dispatch website will now be updated at 5 p.m. daily. While we value our online readers, it's only fair that our loyal, paying customers of The News-Dispatch print edition have top priority when it comes to reading the news.

There is a way to prevent people from copying and pasting web stories. Snopes.com is set up that way. I don't know how it's done, but you can only repost a link to the page you are viewing, you can't repost the content of the page.
Maybe someone at the N-D should contact Barb Mikkelson (the webmaster for Snopes.com) and ask her how she did that? It would put a little damper on our site as far as reposting news items, but then we can always post the link and summarize the content.

There's actually a fairly simple java script that can be used to disable the copy/paste. I use it on parts of my own website. They should ask their website provider about this... though I wonder how much creative control their provider gives them..... IMHO, more online papers should consider that and/or subscriptions. I'm not sure how a business can continue to exist when they give their products away for free. |

Like I said earlier, professional sports are the biggest example. You can never set foot into a professional sports arena, and know everything there is to know about your favorite franchise. |
