This is kind of funny.

The Tulsa World copyrights its entire newspaper and specifically each of the articles and/or editorials at issue. The reproduction of any articles and/or editorials (in whole or in part) on your website or linking your website to Tulsa World content is without the permission of the Tulsa World and constitutes an intentional infringement of the Tulsa World’s copyright and other rights to the exclusive use and distribution of the copyrighted materials.

Therefore, we hereby demand that you immediately remove any Tulsa World material from your website, to include unauthorizedlinks to our website, and cease and desist from any further use or dissemination of our copyrighted content. If you desire to use (in whole or in part) any of the content of our newspaper, you must first obtain written permission before that use. If you fail to comply with his demand, the Tulsa World will take whatever legal action is necessary to assure compliance, Additionally, we will pursue all other legal remedies, including seeking damages that may have resulted as a result of this infringement.

Once upon a time, somewhere in the mid-90s, before anyone had really figured out how the Internet was going to be sorted out, bills were being written and pended out in the US Congress to outlaw linking… which, in Internet-land, makes absolutely no sense.

Well… the cursory link / excerpt:

After being involved in a piece of history, members of the 120th Engineer Combat Battalion returned home Monday to a Valentine’s Day family reunion filled with kisses, hugs and some heartbreak.

Editorial Comment: I think that is very nice.
