Agree! It isn't like you are scraper site grabbing their feed. Now, those are the people they should be getting pissed off about.

That caveat is ridiculous. You got it right...give me a f*&!ing break

packer update is a joke. i emailed them once to get a fucking update and they said it was just for fun and they dont have time to write all the time

Not sure, but I suspect that what PU is upset about are message board posters who repost an entire articles and therefore deprive PU of hits.

Quoting reasonable excerpts seems like classic fair use.

Every written work is copyrighted. If you file a work with the Library of Congress you get some additional benefits, but a work is copyrighted the second you create it.

Off Topic Developing!

I'm heading to SI site and see if Peter King's interview with Brett Favre is on line yet. Apparently, Favre just can't shut his mouth. He was quoted on WTMJ Radio as saying, "TT was the major reason I played last year."

Packeraaron, I'm beginning to see a pattern here...when someone does things a little different than you or has different ideas that are not the same as yours, you publicly thrash the person and the self-righteously cry out, "give me a fucking break." Yes I seem to remember similar language when I said on my own blog that Obama is a socialist...you have let Packer Update off pretty easily compared to what you tried to do to me. And, yet, what is this 'economic stimulus?' Is it not socialism? And how about stinking VLADIMAR PUTIN OF RUSSIA recently WARNING THE US of the DANGERS OF SOCIALISM, and to NOT GO DOWN THIS SOCIALISM ROAD?? (see it <a href="http://www.therightperspective.org/?p=1472" rel="nofollow">here.</a> Is your crowd so blind that PUTIN can see something you don't? Obviously so.

And so it may be that Packer Update does not have the same intention for his blog as you do on yours. Maybe he just writes some stuff because he loves the Green Bay Packers. Maybe he actually has a life. Because he doesn't live up to your personal standard of what a blog can or ought to be, does that make his efforts wrong? And, more importantly, does it then give you the right to attempt to humiliate him publicly? Forget the copyright ethics, what if your childish treatment of yet another fellow Packer-blogger actually finds you coming up short in the character department of an integrity standard? Should people author blog posts centering on your failures to meet such a standard, or are you the only one who gets to judge?

Does this type of insulting banter you toss up about other Packer bloggers somehow make you feel bigger than the person who authored that blog? Are you now 'one-up' on that guy? Wow...you're pretty impressive...you can insult another Packer blogger.

I guess like all the ethically-challenged people whom you love that now have their seats in the Oval Office and on Capitol Hill, you yourself don't see any problem with causing harm at another's expense, or getting your thrill on someone else's account.

Yup, your colors are shining brightly, packeraaron, just like Obama and the rest of the liberal, socialist crowd in power; only your colors aren't green and yellow - you're just yellow.

You should make some tracks with a guitar. And a sexy lady. lol

@ Obama Hater:
Since when do we start bashing the president on Packer blogs? This is a packer blog, right? You can't expect all Packer fans to be Republican...

Just because your not a best packer fan blog nominee doesn't mean you have to get so upset. I believe CHTV was actually applauding their blog and publishing links to their page for other CHTV viewers. This is a bad thing?

AR, you said, "Just because your not a best packer fan blog nominee doesn’t mean you have to get so upset." I'm not? Well, thanks for letting me know that there was a Best Packer Fan Blog competition. But it sounds like your world is pretty small if you can evaluate my own personal motives without ever having met me, and can 'assume' that what fueled my comments had something to do with whatever hole you, yourself are looking out of. Or, you could actually try to comprehend what I said and evaluate the content and perhaps comment on the merits of its truthfulness or its deviation from truth. But of course, that would entail possessing values other than keeping your nose brown behind 'ol packeraaron, there, and thinking independently... well, never mind...I don't want to over- stress the connection between both your brain cells.

"However, I was always told that no court will hear your case without filing the paperwork...."

This part is actually true. You must file before you bring a suit, but not before an infringement. But if you don't file before the infringment you don't get statuatory damages---which is a set range of damages prescribed by statute---instead you must show that you were actually harmed in ecomonic terms (pretty tough to do for more blogs).

So, packeraaron, you have taken it upon yourself to "Every 3 months I point out some dumb shit." And those eligible are deemed such because, what? they don't do things like you do? They have values based on integrity, or just decide to have a blog that they enjoy writing and don't try to be king of the blogosphere? That makes them some "dumb shit"? Dude, you've got a great blog, but apparently you have been believing your own press clippings, because if you believe that your blog is the measure of a man, unsurprisingly, you are again deeply deceived. Because calling out Packer Update like you did shows that a tiny little man lives behind Cheesehead TV. Don't dodge responsibility like you liberals have made an institution of - man up, for a change, and apologize to the guy who puts energy, effort and love into his blog, Packer Update, for trying to make him look like an idiot. That was a cheap shot, it ain't right, and you and your brown-nosed choir all know it.

packercorey, why are you trying to jump in front of a slam that is not pointed in your direction? You didn't write the bit about Packer Update, so don't work so hard to own it. I know that you are part of CHTV, but my beef ain't with you.

Jesus, I take a few hours off to work and all hell breaks loose. Packsmack, I hear you dude and I respect your opinion, but I kind of like this blog because I find myself agreeing with a lot of what is written here. I like like what Aaron &amp; Corey bring, and isn't that what blogs are about - personal style and an approach that one enjoys reading?
Also, P1 gets the post of the year. I'm still howling...

"PackSmack:
Being from Eau Claire myself, I can understand why you are totally insane, but seriously, Marshfield Clinic dude.
That was a fairly epic comment though. You should have bypassed CHTV and used that breath to fill your own blog last updated 12/22. Which kinda sucks. Yep, I am judging.
Obama rules."

P1 &amp; Packsmack, I think I need to hear more about Eau Claire.

PU to me is just a local flavor of PFT.

Also, lol@bickering.

Ok, now that I've got that out of my system...Aaron, OMG, you're a freakin' Renaissance Man! The man, the myth, the music. What's next? Corey, where did you find this guy????

Andrew, I agree, Cheesehead TV is an awesome blog with a lot to offer. And they would do just fine by showing some class and refraining from taking on the little guy like Packer Update. Eau Claire? Home of the Old Abes (mascot was a Civil-War era bald eagle; which was cool.) I was BORN there, but did not grow up there. But I do remember handing some of those EC cry-babies their lunch. But then I played college football with some of them and they turned out to be pretty good dudes. Pot-heads, though, most of them.

Lots of those in EC. Hanging around the Joynt on Water Street drinking Premium Grain Belt, the greatest beer ever.

...My favorite bar of all time, btw.

Definitely going to have to make my way to EC some day. Anyway Psmack, I kind of see where you are coming from, but, alas, I do agree with Aaron's original point (I was 2nd responder above). If you're the NY Times I get it. But c'mon man, this is the blogosphere. Seems pretty silly to me

gratif, Grain Belt on Water Street is not as good as Leinenkugel's.

andrew, and such is your freedom on the wonderful blogosphere. But when packeraaron gets another burr up his crack and goes off on you next, I'll be here to defend you, too.

Thanks Psmack. I'll look forward to the defense. God knows I'll need it at some point. Just for the record tho, Aaron has taken me to task a few times and visa versa. I have accused him of being way too cranky a couple of times. We agree mostly, but certainly not always. Anyway, I always appreciate a different perspective and hope you will post here more.

PackSmack, you talk about "manning up", well, at least give Aaron credit for transparency. Aaron, though prone to bouts with hyperbole, at least makes his real identity known and doesn't hide behind a pseudonym when he makes his controversial comments.

I'll bring Premium to the meet up in Green Bay (I can see Lambeau out my window) and rock your worlds.
