Peter:
Dave's list constantly distributes such copies, and I am well aware
of the
issues, pro and con, involved in doing so. Since the Times has posted
that
article for all to see, it is not as if anyone was deprived of
income; in
fact, the Times was saved the expense of the bandwidth and was
promoted in the
process. Were it my Times column, I'd certainly have no problem with
having it
published on Dave's list. I beleive that the piece is also on the
Times' RSS
feed.
By the way, one of the biggest mistakes the Times has made is putting
some of
its most influential columnists behind a "for pay" firewall. Krugman
and Dowd
were once influential; now they're invisible. I couldn't imagine a more
self-destructive move for the newspaper to have made.
