First, the following is hog-wash. "The Internet's early promise as a medium where text... and data can be freely exchanged..."
Zeev's Turnip board of the No Politics flavor is totally free to read, just as one can listen to songs on the radio, all one has to do is accept the presents of advertisements.
Imagine if i taped the most popular radio station in America that plays jazz or Rock & Roll, and then erased out the talk, news and advertisements such that i can play the songs one after another with only a few seconds pause between each.
I now set up a web site that allows people to listen to this.
Lets say for each real time 24 hours of the radio station i get 12 hours of songs, and i simply repeat each days twice between the hours of noon to midnight to noon.
I'am sure inside a few days i would be served with legal papers.
But imagine i had a grudge against iHub and did a Cut & Paste in real time of each post on Zeev's board, and lets say that i have a good knowledge of the markets such that i am able to echo only the best posts onto a web site in real time that is free to visit, and has no advertisements, and all one has to do is place it upon a dedicated monitor and i will with only one minute delay post each post and have them scroll off the screen as each is added from new posts. This way you can trade the markets in almost real time using the Turnip board's input.
Now BobZ did mention eithor or both places of Si & iHub that he "allows" a Cut & Paste of posts to other sites just so that a URL is included. So, each post has the URL included.
But is a song like "not for sale" market chatter open with full access to the geneal public? Doug
