Well, I'll tell you what. Post links on this thread and one day when I have a bit of time I'll compile them all into a list in the Library. Then you WILL have a page that lists creative commons news sources.

Sounds like a good research project for you gsgs.

I can't wait to see your first version. Say in 3 days?

I checked several newspapers ...

typical terms and conditions of US-newspapers look bad.
Boycot US-newspapers ! Except Voice of America, CNS, etc.
England (BBC), Canada(globe and mail) is also bad.


Spiegel.de,focus.de (only in German) apparantly allow copying
for noncommercial use in forums like this. (AFAICT)
http://www.spiegel.de/international/

but most German newspapers don't allow it either

also facebook ... I haven't yet checked the conditions ...

now they forbid us to search

I may still download "their" stuff and process/search it with my own software ?

So, who gives a long list of news or headlines,
lets me download the whole list and search it offline
with my own software ?

Except as permitted through the Services (or these Terms), you have to use the Twitter API if you want to reproduce, modify, create derivative works, distribute, sell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, or otherwise use the Content or Services.

This means that copying and pasting content here from Twitter is a violation of their copyright rules. Once again:

Please do not list sites in this thread that obviously prohibit reproduction of their material. It only leads to confusion.

[flourbug]

http://library.thisbluemarble.com/allowed-use-tac76/

[gsgs]

thanks.
Can we make it editable like a wiki ?

also political organisations like parties often allow the use of their
material, cause they want to spread their (biased) opinion.

www.democrats.org - can't find their terms of use
www.gopusa.com - oops, not this - they have evil conditions

[gsgs]

twitter lists for keywords:
e.g.
H5N1: http://twitter.x/search?q=%23H5N1
news: http://twitter.x/search?q=%23news

[Ought Six]

Twitter does not allow us to reproduce their material here! Why do you keep posting links to Twitter ???

It might be useful to remove all the posts here that wrongly recommend sites that do not allow the reproduction of their content. That kind of thread cleanup would reduce confusion for those trying to use this thread as a reference.

[gsgs]

I don't think so.

http://twitter.com/tos
> We encourage and permit broad re-use of Content. The Twitter API exists to enable this.

twitter lives from reproducing other people's stuff.

just use their API.
Which presumably most people do anyway ... unless you are a programmer.

I assume this is because they don't want people to copy large amounts
of their stuff and process it so to make a twitter2 from it



many news are now most actual at twitter.
I remember earthquake,wikileaks,pandemic
and of course conspiracy theories...

What "using their API" means is that they don't want you copying and pasting, but they don't mind using a special app to pull it in with. An example of this is that you can use a special app (which uses Twitter's API) to have your twitter posts to automatically go to your blog or your facebook page.

Does that make it clearer?

Shari

[gsgs]

OK, I'll ask them.


"do you allow copying and pasting to forums or blogs
tweets, that were found with keyword search ?"

I wait a while for better formulation-suggestions

Better way to phrase the question:

"Do you allow tweets to be copied and pasted to forums or blogs if they were found with a keyword search?"

[gsgs]

thanks.

they also have a twitter account and a blog

http://twitter.com/twitter
http://blog.twitter.com

[gsgs]

hard to find, how to contact them ... is it deliberate ?
snailmail:

Twitter, Inc.
795 Folsom St., Suite 600
San Francisco, CA 94107

maybe one of you Americans can do it ?
(-->faster, same legislation)




Apparantly I'm allowed to "retweet" and to copy my tweets to a webpage,
so that would already put any tweet on my page - just by retweeting.


--------------------------

they have a twitter account and a blog but I can't find how to
tweet to them and no replies to the blog are allowed.
Strange. Also strange that they are a bit unclear about this copying
to forums,blogs.

http://blog.twitter.com/2009/09/twit...f-service.html

Ownership—Twitter is allowed to "use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute" your tweets because that's what we do. However, they are your tweets and they belong to you.
