The Scoble says:

OK, are five bloggers who want total control of their content gonna ruin it for everyone?

No.

Instead, anyone who wants out can have out. Just send me email. Leave the rest of us alone.

In case you missed it, someone complained that Scoble's linkblog wasn't taking excerpts, but rather full posts from other people's blogs.  Seems to me that if no copyright is exerted, he/she is out of luck.  If a copyright is there and ignored, then it seems to me that Robert's had one too many sips from the “Fark you, we're Microsoft - what're you going to do about it” flavored kool-aid.

Me?  I have no problem with it - as long as you put my name next to it, and don't try to make money from it, you're good to go.  By the way, dear Robert, you make the point that search engines et. al. are making money on our content - they only publish that content in bite-size chunks, with a link right there to take you to the full content.  The commercial aggregator argument goes right out the window as well: people are paying for the software, not the content - it'd be like the RIAA demanding a kickback for every CD player ever produced - not even they're that greedy (well, not yet anyway).

“My linkblog is an advertisement for how smart you are.
If you're not there, well, that's OK.” - Robert Scoble
