That is not correct.  Reuse of material is an important question.  This is
probably actually not something to get into in my opinion.  However if
this particular issue raises some like the current Microsoft/Tickemaster
link suit it might well.

There are many costs to maintaining freedom on the web and SCN should not
be afraid to take on their share of them, nor to generate publicity from
same.
