Re: Aaron Fike Update...
 

I am assuming the story here was taken from a newspaper article and not written by the poster. If that is the case, I would like to educate everyone on the legalities and common courtesy of posting other's work. I am a freelance writer and prior to a few years ago did not know these rules myself.

It is ok to post part or the full article (depending on a website's rules) on a website. Most sites are ok with posting part of an article without permission. They ask that you post the title of the article, who wrote it and where it came from (ex: the Indianapolis Star). Then they ask that you place a link to the full article to the origional web story. Most websites/ message boards would rather you do that anyway to not take up so much space on the board. This does two things to help the origional owner: 1. gives proper credit to whoever wrote it. 2. allows the origional website to count it as a hit. Every hit helps the website sell advertising. Assume all content on websites are copyrighted.

By doing this, you help keep the writers and reports that write the stories you read employed and allow them to keep writing stories you are interrested in.

Thanks for posting the article. By doing so you helped me get information on a story I am interrested in.

This was a Bullcrap sentence IMHO in a state where I can get a hundred dollar fine for smoking a legal cigarette within 40ft of any buisness, this guy walks free while for probably years he contributed to Street Crime, Prostitution and NARCOTICS. (All involved with the illegal drug trade in which he was a participant and user)

Please alow me to start geeks for whatever next time I commit a felony and let me walk.
BTW, I live in Warren County.

...from Jayski.com :)

You can check it out, but I think it was the Cincinnati Enquirer from which Jayski got the story...

Hypocrisy at it's finest. Someone who admits to committing felonies, and then trashes someone for making a mistake and trying to atone for it.

The prior reply was a total missunderstanding on what Buzzilla had to say.
Sorry, Can I go now?

Here we go again.... :angry-smiley-007:

I realize we're bored with no racing going on around here, but way too many threads become one person bashing another. Relax people. Take a deep breath..... April will be here soon.

I got no problem with Bub. Should have just left it.
Chuck, relaxing :)

Re: Aaron Fike Update...
 

I agree with Rob on this situation. I'm getting tired of all these people who decide to take on the role of positive example, for all mankind, only after they are busted. When it involves a press release, you can bet your rear end, that the real purpose is only to save their own.

For every Aaron Fike, there are ten drivers like Dave Darland, Josh Spencer, Brady Bacon, Bryan Clauson, Ricky Stenhouse, etc. around any track to serve as an example to youngsters of how real winners conduct themselves. I wish Aaron the best of luck in his recovery. But, IMO, the only thing he can offer racing is to concentrate on that and show up at the track, someday, as a driver that has REALLY turned his life around.

Jerry's post right before this one really hits the nail on the head. Very well stated, Jerry.
