Maybe - but what about Intellectual Property and Copyright?

I know you are a mod, but you are really going off the rail to try to prove that your comments are on topic and meaningful to our conversation.
We are not even talking about stolen content in this thread, as you seem to be insinuating. This thread is about the validity of using reprint articles, defined as "content that the author has given webmasters advance permission to use on their own websites", as a legitimate method of promotion, search engine marketing, and giving our readers what they want.
Your asking about Intellectual Property and Copyright seems to suggest that you think we are discussing the use of stolen content. We are not.
In a previous post, you also said:

Bull shoots!
"All the good stuff has been written..."
With that implication, I guess I should just hang up my writing pen and stop writing for a living!
After all, anything I have written has already been said by someone else - by your suggestion. Or at the very least, what I have written in the past and in the future is not worth reading, since by your suggestion, "all of the 'good stuff' has been written."
Even your employers have editors who create new content everyday for their newsletters and their website. Maybe they should just fold up their website and go home too. (While they are at it, they might even want to delete all of my reprint articles that they once thought were worthy for use on their website:

As a professional writer, I take offense to your comments!
To steal words from Ann Richards (well, it is not actually stealing since I am citing the original source), you seem to have been "born with a ... foot in your mouth."
