My web...I am the webmaster for <A HREF="http://www.Greenspeech.org" REL="nofollow">www.GreenSpeech.org</A>. My website theme is "Ideas for the 21st Century". I do my best to observe copyright law and I also allow anonymous submissions. I am the sole proprietor of my website and have no employees, which leaves me in a positoion which I feel is advantageous over the "free" presses which have employees: I always take sole responsibility for my anonymous posts unless the actual author(s) want to declare their copyrights independently. I do this by asserting my 5th Amendment Right rahter than my 1st Amendment right when I am asked to reveal my "sources". I don't even understand how "free speech" or the responsibility to "petition" offers any protection to bought-and-sold corporate interests. Usually the "Free Press Corporation" forsakes their reporters to jail in order to hide their false accusations against the rich, the poor and the global society in general. I simply take responsibility for waht I post personally if my "source" wants to remain anonymous. If they want to claim their copyright and can prove they have the right to the post, then I have no choice but to let them come forward and take full liability for what they have submitted to Greenspeech.<BR/><BR/>Also using email addresses, names or other aliases (even if "verified") provides no legal shield for slander, libel or copright violators.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Ross Tobia<BR/>Webmaster, Greenspeech.org<BR/>Copyright Greenspeech.org 01/19/2008 19:22 ESTAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194174956155342177noreply@blogger.com
