I don't know for sure, but maybe the WSJ might take exception to their article being reproduced on a coin chatroom. That is probably why there was a paywall. Just saying.
They actually only have copyright protection for their original article, the information in the work is real world news events and is not protected by any type of intellectual property law. And yes, I am an attorney and admitted to practice before the USPTO and did many copyright cases. And even publishing directly a portion would be fair use, so stop giving advice where you don't know what you are talking about -- stick with coins. CU would have no potential liability even if you published the exact article here under some of the safe harbor provisions of the DMCA (17 USC §512).
???? What are you talking about? Because I'm not talking about "the information in the work." The entire article was literally copied and pasted here. That is absolutely a copyright infringement.
What "safe harbor provision" gives the host of an online forum protection when a user violates someone's copyright? CU is not an OSP. That would be whoever provides your internet connection. Not the host of a website.
CU is absolutely responsible for the content it allows us to post, and has an obligation to police it, subject to a take down request. But don't think for a minute that it is okay for us to violate someone else's copyright, and that there would be no consequences if Dow Jones found out about it.
You don't seriously think that CU would have no responsibility if people were soliciting illegal activity, or posting illicit content here, do you?
I'm not debating with a fool who does not actually understand the law, bye.

So Bjorn sold $3 mil worth of coins for $2 mil excluding “givvys” . Go Big Red.
So ask yourself if they are really worth the $3 million. It's not like they come from a factory with a MSRP.
Getting too old Bajjerfan? Or did you forget ; “if ya wanna make a million in the coin business, you have to start with two million”. Man, some guys forgot the old cliches. (Or lost a sense of humor) SMH
Win some, lose some and some get rained out, but ya gotta suit up for all of em.

Sounds like you're doing a heck of a job for them, gratis! Way to own CU's exposure risk for them by leading your own take down request crusade, all (in your words) because of "a potential problem for CU, which would, in turn, create a potential problem for all of us."
Surely you'll let us know when any of CU's actual problems become forum user problems, let alone this pesky little potential one.
Just pointing out that you stole someone's IP and posted it here. I don't really care one way or the other. Not my IP, and I'm not a host here.
@Old_Collector is a copyright attorney who says there is a safe harbor to steal IP and post it publicly, so I guess paywalls are now a thing of the past. Someone should probably let Dow Jones know. 🤣🤣🤣

Two seconds?! No thanks. I prefer to take my time and browse. Clearly I'm getting old...

No argument here, except they’re in the wrong suit.
