All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
Perhaps, by insisting on taking their intellectual property offline, Murdoch might be 1. protecting his investment from further encroachment by muslim interests. 2. hoping the Fox audience will take the hint and actually buy into the fair and balanced approach with their own hard earned cash - effectively taking control away from the Prince.
Georgetown U.-instituted by Christians -1634... Harvard U. instituted by the predominately Christian Mass. govt. 1636.. We Christians keep giving up the high ground....without a fight.. Thank you for this ...
Anonymous, I would like to think Murdoch was ready to fight the Jihad, but I doubt it.
By the way, your link was to the wrong article.
Here's the correct article:
Mr Murdoch, interviewed on Sky News Australia, was asked how he would be able to instigate his proposal to charge for newspaper websites such as The Times in the UK or The Australian when the BBC and ABC produced free news content on their sites.
“But we are better,” said Mr Murdoch, chairman of News Corp. “And anyway, if you look at them, most of their stuff is stolen from the newspapers now, and we’ll be suing them for copyright.
“They will have to spend a lot more money on a lot more reporters to cover the world when they can’t steal from newspapers.”
But he added that he didn’t think it would be necessary to go to court.
“They know the law. They will adapt.”
There was no immediate response from the BBC.
Mr Murdoch also indicated that he would use legal methods to prevent Google and other search engine “news aggregators” from taking his newspapers’ material.
Asked how he reacted to the challenge of Google and others for newspapers such as his to remove their newspapers from search results, Mr Murdoch said that once they had in place the means to charge for news, “I think we will”.
He also challenged the idea that Google and others could take just the headlines and opening lines from his papers’ stories, indicating that he would not tolerate even that.
“[They use] a doctrine called fair use, which we believe can be challenged in the courts and will bar it altogether,” he said.
His challenge of "Fair Use" doctrine would put us out of business too.
There is a sense in which one could say that we rip off stories here.
However, what we are is an aggregating website, which also offers opinion and context which the MSM does not offer MOST OF THE TIME.
If we are gone, then free speech will have taken a terrible hit.
Of course, as smart as MR, Epa, AOW, and the rest of us are here, we will be able to figure out a way around whatever challenge he raises, so I'm not really afraid.
However, I do think Murdoch's goal here is to monopolize the News back into the hands of the MSM (even if it might seem to you like Fox is not straight MSM).
The old days are gone, and Murdoch doesn't want to face it.
He and Barry Diller need to get a room and fellate each other in private, because I'm getting sick of watching it.

Another consideration to the above is:
Murdoch hints he will sue BBC
and we all know the BBC is jihad friendly. Maybe he's had enough of this camel on his back.

Oh, and about the comment above about how "smart" we are, I forgot to say LOL.
I meant that as a joke.
We aren't smart, but we are wiley, you know, like the coyote.
