It appears that Mr. Coffee Talk doesn't want anyone actually quoting his comments from his blog without permission. He has put a copyright disclaimer at the bottom of is posts. Personally, his blog isn't worth quoting to begin with. He is much more quotable in person. Saying stupid things like, "Let's freeze Ruth's brain." and "I don't care where the trash goes as long as it leaves Middleborough."
He being a lawyer I think somehow makes him feel protected or that his words are actually of some worth. It isn't like it is any real intellectual property. He ain't being paid to say this stuff... or is he? But, that is another story. Copyrights are for those who have a financial interest through their work and don't want others to financial benefit from it. Copyrighting your blog is just a coward's way of trying to intimidate those who will actually repeat your words to make counter points. Mr. Coffee Talk wants control. Sorry, I don't drink coffee. I'm for coffee-not.
For some excellent understanding of what it fair use under copyright laws, try here. I intend to use Mr. Coffee Talk as fairly as posible.
