As the copyright Scrooges at Righthaven add newspaper giant Media News to their client list and start suing for reuse of graphics, the UK Guardian has delivered a gift to WordPress bloggers–and by extension all who are concerned with the free exchange of information and the future of journalism.
The plugin is free, the content is free:
“The catch? The bloggers must publish article in full without any modifications, and along with the content comes the newspaper’s advertisements…. It’s a win-win situation: The Guardian does not lose “any benefit and is actually able to MONITIZE through the API, whilst publishers get free online news content from one of the world’s best newspapers.”
