Oops! I violated copyright.
I mentioned yesterday that there was a news story about Bleezer in The Record. I have been asked by City Media Group, owners of The Record, to remove that story as it is in violation of copyright. The gentleman I spoke to was very apologetic, but that is their policy.
In fact, though The Record announced that it would eliminate its paywall starting today, that is only true for the day's news. They do not even allow linking to their articles. So if you want to read it you'll have to pay to subscribe to the paper. Someone will need to explain to them about the Google cache though.
The funny thing was that I had taken great care to preserve all advertising and links around the story so that readers would see it as it originally appeared.
So while I regularly link to the National Post, The Globe and Mail, the New York Times, and other papers, it doesn't seem that The Record has bought in to the value of a hyperlinked world yet. But at least they are taking their first steps.
