http://blogs.msdn.com/rick_schaut/archive/2004/02/10/71027.aspxGround Rules Having had some time to browse a few of the other blogs on msdn.com, I think it only appropriate to be clear and up-front about a few things. The first is that this weblog is mine. If you click on the &quot;Home&quot; link in the upper left-handen-USCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)http://blogs.msdn.com/rick_schaut/archive/2004/02/10/71027.aspx#71103Wed, 11 Feb 2004 05:23:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:71103Jerry PiskRick, if you include your posts on the Weblogs@Asp.Net home page it's no longer your own private playground. You no longer own the copyright (unless you excplicitly include it in the post text). If you want to keep your blog entries your own just don't post them [on the home page].http://blogs.msdn.com/rick_schaut/archive/2004/02/10/71027.aspx#71166Wed, 11 Feb 2004 08:10:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:71166TeresaWhy-do-I-get-the-feeling-that-was-directed-at-me? <br> <br>P.S.-Benevolent?http://blogs.msdn.com/rick_schaut/archive/2004/02/10/71027.aspx#71390Wed, 11 Feb 2004 17:19:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:71390Rick SchautJerry, <br> <br>My understanding may well be wrong, but weblogs@asp.net basicly aggregates news items from blogs.msdn.com. The primary location (i.e. the place to which you go when you click the &quot;home&quot; link) is blogs.msdn.com, and blogs.msdn.com is the location that I post to. <br> <br>IMHO, if one loses one's copyright when items are aggregated, then we probably have a serious problem under copyright law.http://blogs.msdn.com/rick_schaut/archive/2004/02/10/71027.aspx#71467Wed, 11 Feb 2004 19:35:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:71467David Cumpsactually weblogs.asp.net = blogs.msdn.com + non-ms bloggers, right? at least, that's what i got from the posts that were made around the time blogs.msdn.com was made public.http://blogs.msdn.com/rick_schaut/archive/2004/02/10/71027.aspx#71489Wed, 11 Feb 2004 20:11:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:71489Rick SchautI just checked, and, yes, if you type <a target="_new" href="http://weblogs.asp.net/rick_schaut">http://weblogs.asp.net/rick_schaut</a>, you get to essentially the same home page. Going through either address, however, gives the same copyright notice. It would seem, then, that weblogs.asp.net vs. blogs.msdn.com is a non-issue where copyright questions are concerned. Have I missed something? <br>http://blogs.msdn.com/rick_schaut/archive/2004/02/10/71027.aspx#71915Thu, 12 Feb 2004 17:11:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:71915David CumpsNo, that's right, wasn't making a copyright statement :) Was only a reply to yours about where you post to. <br> <br>You have all right for a comment policy. <br> <br>It might be a good thing to put it on the sides of the blog in a Link, cos over time, this post will be waaaaay at the bottom.http://blogs.msdn.com/rick_schaut/archive/2004/02/10/71027.aspx#72295Fri, 13 Feb 2004 05:35:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:72295Rick SchautDavid, thanks for the suggestion.
