Melissa: Glad to hear that I’m not alone on that one. I always want to make sure the author sees what I’m writing about, they are the one I’m (yelling at, complimenting, refuting, supporting, etc.) so it makes sense. I think that is the best approach though it is always neat to see what these communities like Digg and Reddit have to say.

Kathryn: I suppose I chose the wrong terminology there, they don’t prevent it but they do give you a means to stop it by using the DMCA or the EDEC in Europe to get the material removed. One could argue that the DMCA would let you wrap your content in DRM and make the breaking of it illegal, but that would be silly and stupid.

So, it doesn’t *prevent* the copying and pasting, but give you a means to deal with it. That was a poor choice of words on my part.

I agree with Liz too. She truly is one of the brightest minds in this area!

you mention copyright laws – how do they prevent “excessive copying and pasting” how does that worl? I mean can you actually prevent that?

I agree with Liz – all conversations are fragmented – the internet allows you to pick it back up at the precise pace you stopped……

this is a bit fragmented – sorry ;)

Your policy is the same as mine. Whenever I come across an interesting link, I always leave my comment on the source site rather than the directory or referring site. Once in a while, I’ll do both. However, I think it’s good when people are sharing and discussing your content, even if they’re doing so on another site like Digg, Reddit, etc.
