Peter Simpson

[Ian]

There's a thread on the Windsor forum saying that Peter Simpson has had a heart attack earlier this week. He's ok, apparently, but I'm sure all Rebels fans wish him a speedy recovery.

Agree totally as without Peter's understanding and support we would be standing round the local park watching Slough.

 

Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Sidetracking here but SR1, does this mean you're not happy to have any comments you make on here included in the local press round up without due accreditation?

[A Rebel and a Saint]

have to agree with sr1 there, hope he gets well soon

Yes - put the copyright on around three weeks ago when the papers were picking up comments on the site and "quoting" them as fans comments.

 

If the press want my words of wisdom they can pay for them!!!!

Yes, best wishes to Peter Simpson. There's more news on his situation:

Once you choose to place in the public domain what is basically an opinion, the copyright you have is so limited as to be unenforceable.

In effect, simply by reporting that one fan felt "blah blah blah etc" the paper overcomes all possible copyright issues.

At least you can be glad that your views are considered siginificant enough for the paper to feel they deserve an additional audience!

Books and newspapers are all protected by copyright yet when they are published they are put into the public domain. However, it would be entirely pointless in most cases to bring an action as there is not quantifiable damage.
