Gee, Mx is wrong again. Without copyright, a writer -- reporting news
or otherwise -- could have his material taken and used without
compensation in real time. This would have a particular impact on
writers without affiliations, who might be first on scene, dash off a
story, and have it used without getting a penny for their efforts.

In modern journalism, the speed with which you get the news to the
audience is often much more important than anything having to do with
copyright. No matter how fast the copycats are, the original writer
is always the first to have the news he has written, and that is a
tremendous and usually overriding advantage in high-speed journalism.


So, the strategy now is, when you're wrong you just change the subject
altogether..


Just so I know.
