The problem with Choate's argument is that (besides that it's silly), he gives implied consent to redistribute by posting here. Also, as he claims to know, CDR is by nature distributed, and each node can set its own policy. Dont' like it? Don't participate.
Really? Go back to the archives and look at my original attempt to set a policy that SSZ subscribers posts were 'public domain'. It was immediately after Igor and I put up the original two-site CDR. Note who was arguing in the contrary. No, there is no 'implied consent'. I own SSZ. I own the copyright of my words. There is no 'meeting of minds' between you and I for example, so there can be no 'contract', implied or otherwise (since I've said publicly I won't agree). There is no fine print that states 'we reserve the right to edit all submissions'.
