Copyright and Digital Media – (Turkeys)

I was reading an online article from the Financial Times and noticed the following copyright notice:

As a result of this notice I did not provide a link within a post but used Twitter instead.  I guess I’m legally protected and FT will be happy someone followed their rules.  My notice is a little different.

I like mine better.

I’ve shortened the title of my occasional posts on management issues to Turkeys. Any negative connotations are purely coincidental.  This series of posts started while underwriting at my brother’s house and his gaggle of wild turkeys walked by.  So say bye-bye to “Remote Underwriting With Turkeys”.  Now we’re just talkin’ turkey.

And management issues.
