- We appear to have have 422 articles which include one or several links to newspaper articles hosted, without license, on rickross.com, in what looks like direct contravention of WP:LINKVIO policy.
— To give an example, the first article in the search results page, Community Chapel and Bible Training Center, has 22 links to unlicensed copies of newspaper articles.
— Fair_use#Practical_effect_of_fair_use_defense, L.A._Times_v._Free_Republic make clear that we are on shaky ground here in terms of contributory infringement.
— Some of the material hosted on rickross.com is for sale online by the legitimate owners. Example: [1] [2]
— Apart from the potential copyright issue, there are also some reliability problems with the material hosted on the site, i.e. unmarked deletions/changes in the hosted articles. For further details, see [3] on Durova's talk page. Jayen466 12:47, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
