You need to read the fair use doctrine. It states that for commentary or criticism, quoting brief passages is acceptable. <br /><br />Moreover, mentioning the name of a website to discuss it (FREEDOM OF SPEECH) or to credit the work of an author OTHER THAN AMY that was posted in her comments is not copyright infringement.<br /><br />We do not use the name to divert traffic here. People have to ALREADY BE HERE to see that we have mentioned the Homebirth Debate site. Using that phrase in our blog doesn't divert traffic here. People have to come here via other paths to even see that we've used that name.<br /><br />Moroever, the phrase Homebirth Debate may describe a website but also a topic. That is like trying to tell people they cannot use the name "Abortion Debate." You cannot copyright phrases like that.<br /><br />In summation, as Homebirth Debate is the name of a blog--not a business--she does not own it. Because it is a common phrase, a term, the name of a debate that rages across the internet, it cannot be copyrighted. Lastly, owning the copyright to something doesn't mean a person isn't allowed to mention that thing--especially if they aren't profitting from it. <br /><br />We haven't used the name; we have used the phrase, the term that applies to a specific debate. We are no more prohibited from saying homebirth debate than we are from saying abortion debate. You cannot copyright the name of a controversy.<br /><br />Please read up on copyright law before wasting our time again.Heather B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07344763698496729767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37709909.post-8839589234524560242006-12-17T09:00:00.000-06:002006-12-17T09:00:00.000-06:00How is one to know who an anonymous posting is rea...How is one to know who an anonymous posting is really from?Baby Keeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13771156154070579302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37709909.post-9828739185499295372006-12-16T11:50:00.000-06:002006-12-16T11:50:00.000-06:00Oh, yeah .... and isn't it telling that the threat...Oh, yeah .... and isn't it telling that the threat was posted on the Sorry Works campaign??

I mean, prosectuted. It's easier than coming up with the research about what is safe for the baby. My observation is that when a midwife is charged it is usually the medical and legal establishment going after her. <br /><br />My thought too -- about "do I say, not as I do"?? She sure quotes Henci Goer and everyone else -- without permission. I think she ought to be held to her own standards. Maybe Henci and the woman whose personal information she used without informing or persmission can sue her.<br /><br />She is also always asking for people to debate? Henci won't debate her. She won't debate on this forum. <br /><br />I don't get how me posting about her here draws traffic here. Don't you have to be here already? <br /><br />Speaking of which, I am SO GRATEFUL to the men and women of our military who protect, among many, my right to my speech --- so that I can have this blog and share the research that shows that hospital birth is not safe. We know what happened to our sisters once upon a time.<br /><br />It's what gets the troops through the day --- knowing they are protecting our rights, even if it is to speak against what they are doing. God Bless them.
