Tntoak and any others defending our writers on Facebook

  • Get ITT. Upvotes for you all. Really appreciate you guys sticking your neck out there against a lot of those ignorant people. I really value the work that Ryan, Wes, and Kevin do, and I don't appreciate these people on Neyland News who are making what we pay for much less valuable, and taking away the hard earned money that our guys deserve.

  • I agree completely. Why do people pay money to get this content, only to turn around and give it to everyone else for free?

  • W/R/K deserve every dime that I give them and regardless if some steals their information I will continue to pay for this site. It has been by far the best community and my one place of sanity to come to for Tennessee news living in Birmingham.

    I'm not familiar with this Neyland News thing and I'm not going to even look at their Facebook site.

  • Money aside, they're stealing someone else's copyrighted content. As a writer, nothing infuriates me more.

    I've known people to do this type of stuff and they did it for bragging right mostly. They told people they had sources and stuff and would try to impress people with it. It's pathetic.

  • Then there should be legal action that could be taken correct?

    Continuous cease and desist letters will come. Then legal action can be taken, if the company (247) deems it necessary. At the very least we can get this fool's page off of Facebook.

  • If you have a FB, just report the page. That's all you can do for now. If it gets enough "report" hits. FB will then investigate the page.

    He could start up a different page the same day. He claims he gets all of hi info from other people who have posted it on other sites, particularly VN. So it's a lot bigger battle than just this one guy.

    Well we are a strong loyal community if he starts another Facebook page then lets attack that one too. I will look for a report button and report the site. That I have no problem with i wasn't aware that I actually had any power over a facebook page.

    Yes absolutely. We can get those sites knocked off. We just have to stay on it and keep the thieves off of 247 and always let W/R/K know when we see their info on other sites.

  • Thanks. I tried to defend tntoak but they are all IP-infringing zombies.

    Had to get out of there. I think the chances are very good that Shannon will lawyer the F up for this one.

  • I was really surprised at the people defending that page. That was pathetic. And the guy that said I don't care how he gets his info just doesn't make proud that he is a Tennessee fan.

    I tried to report the site and found it very interesting that FAcebook seemed to run me in circles trying to find information about copyright infringment. I never found something specific to copyright infringment I had to report something completely off topic.

    Good ol face book.
