We'll get to it. Like I said, it's outdated.



You've really been here long enough to know that this site is probably the most conservative around with regard to sensationalized headlines and link-baiting. We're not about just generating hits, and really have never been considering the fact that we're a "rumor" site.

Thanks for the reply, Arn.

I'll drop it.
 
Hey, go nuts. Just be careful not to run a business behind it. ;)

Don't worry. I won't. But I will drive without a seatbelt on the way to Microcenter for the parts, and will change lanes without signaling, just to get that extra danger factor. :p

They don't call him "Wild-Bill" for nothing! :D
Edit: He probably tears the tags off his mattresses, too!
 
Keep trying.

Wikipedia is public domain, and usage of Wikipedia material falls under under "fair dealing." I don't need to credit anything or anyone in this case, although it's still cutomary to do it as a courtesy. I'm not bound to do so, however.

Don't attempt to deflect the issue.

I'm surprised to find you're unaware of Wikipedia's Terms of Use.

No. Wikipedia isn't "public domain". See the Wikipedia's Terms of Use page, which states: "Wikimedia projects are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to re-distribute and re-use their contributions freely, as long as the use is attributed and the same freedom to re-use and re-distribute applies to any derivative works."

And to go further -- the web page -- http://www.webtvwire.com/linking-to-infringing-content-is-probably-illegal-in-the-us/ -- is not Wikipedia.

That page was your source in the first example I gave in my previous posting in regards to the your word-for-word quotes that you didn't cite.

And then there's the matter of your avatar, which is an unauthorized derivative work based on a screen grab from the movie E.T. It seems you have a "do as I say, not as I do" attitude in regards to intellectual property (other than Apple's).
 
"What're you in for?"
"Murder. How about you?"
"Mattress tags."

"I'm afraid I'm gonna have to pull rank on you. I didn't want to have to do this. I'm with the Mattress Police. There are no tags on these mattresses."

"Frank, I need to go to Utah."
"Utah?"
"Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?"
