"Hijacking / Redirecting Content Issue
Is this new? I've seen some of my posts on websites that have nothing
to do with this group or some of the other groups I've posted to. It looks like google is selling our group posts as content on advertising sites. Is this part of our posting agreement. I don't think I want my posts used else where. |

"Hijacking / Redirecting Content Issue
I found this on google site:
4. Use of Materials The content within the Service is protected by copyright and other laws in both the United States and elsewhere. The Service includes both content owned or controlled by Google as well as content owned or controlled by third parties and licensed to Google (collectively, the "Materials").

You are on USENET - a world wide discussion forum that predates the web by a decade. There are others than Google that run USENET servers, i dont use Google at all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet JonB I was under the impression google took over usenet and was hosting it. am I wrong? It must be that I'm using a google log in so google puts usenet into a frame? Where is usenet being hosted from? I'll check around and see what's going on with google and usenet. I knew I was posting on usenet but I honestly thought it had become part of google groups. |

Google bought DejaNews, but there are other usenet servers. JonB |

It's free, covers about 80,000 groups including binaries and has decent retention, but the number of consecutive users is limited and download speed is throttled down a bit too, otherwise...it's FREE. gotbent aka FRT rider |

"Hijacking / Redirecting Content Issue
I believe that there are commercial sites that scan through usenet postings
are repost them. I have found postings from technical groups that I post to re-posted to technical sites. These sites perform a service in that they consolidate information from a large variety of sources including usenet. They generally don't charge fees for basic access and so they are supported by advertising. Google has nothing to do with this. You have no control over the content that you post to usenet. You are essentially creating public domain works which can be freely redistributed. Jeff "gotbent" wrote in message ...

I have seen some of my posts out there as well. Only goes to show you that nothing is private on the internet. If one can't deal with that then don't post here!!!!! As for myself? Well...I'll continue my posts and, frankly, I don't really give a crap if the Muslims, liberal democrats, mass media, or anyone else thinks. I have always been one to speak my mind. Right there along with Ed!!!!! __o | Every time I see an adult on a bicycle.... _`\(,_ | I no longer despair for the human race. (_)/ (_) | ---H.G. Wells--- |

Right there along with Ed!!!!! It is very important not to take Usenet seriously. It is simply a playground for mischievous minds. I regard it as my main mission in life (and indeed a sacred duty) to keep tabs on the notorious and nefarious Tom Sherman. He must never be allowed to rampage freely on ARBR again.
