That's just journalistic etiquette (which we, at least, should live up to, IMHO...)

We want to respect their wishes. Edited by ~J~ is in Wonderland, Oct 22 2008, 11:16 AM.

That's just journalistic etiquette (which we, at least, should live up to, IMHO...) FWIW, I, too, believe that Liestoppers Board should honor the embargo on the excerpts. Two LS members plan to attend the 'book release/press conference' tomorrow - representing LS Board. We all want these 2 LS members to be able to attend . The excerpts should be neither posted nor discussed on this board until after the 'unveiling'. (if the excerpts are avbl elsewhere ..... well, then they are not on LS) Edited by DMom, Oct 22 2008, 07:34 AM.

We have been "trusted" with material, and we need demonstrate our "integrity" and "trustworthiness". (We criticize ordinary journalists enough for their lack of integrity...) There is also the question of copyright : Quote: Excerpts of the book are attached. You may not use the contents of that file in your broadcast, newspaper, blog or on the internet prior to 11:00 AM EDT, Thursday, October 23, 2008. Please honor the embargo. The file is attached so that you can get a sense of what the book is like and to generate questions. Use of the material without express permission is a violation of copyright laws. I don't know how valid this is in the light of "fair use", or use of excerpts for a book review, etc.; but it is not really an issue I would want to see Liestoppers have to deal with when it can easily be avoided by merely waiting one day--after which all the excepts can be disseminated without objection. Just my two cents' worth...

~J~ is in Wonderland Posts: 3,965 Group: Tier1 Member #12 Joined: Apr 28, 2008	abb, I have to leave now. I respectfully request that you not post my email at this time. We don't want break the embargo and get banned from the presser. If other media starts posting it....then its fair game. Thank you

Posts: 405 Group: Tier1 Member #25 Joined: Apr 28, 2008	Absolutely, do not publish the PDF until tomorrow. We have railed enough about the unethical behavior of the MSM, we surely don't want to be guilty of bad faith conduct. It is a remarkable--astounding, really--tribute to what Liestoppers is known to be, that Beth and ~J~ have been able to recieve "media credentials". That's real recognition of what we are and what we may yet become--from a very unexpected source. Keep the faith-- and YEAH LIESTOPPERS!!!!!!!!!
