I am a big fan of the Sun chain of papers and am loathe to critize them. But I learned today through another blogger that the Toronto Sun republished a small excerpt from a post on this blog without asking first. I have no problem with the Sun printing stuff from this site -- I'm actually flattered they did -- but shouldn't they ask bloggers for their permission first?
When I was at the National Post we reprinted some blog posts in the paper -- finding them was part of my responsabilities. But we always got permission from the author first.
I guess it's likely that the Toronto Sun person who plucked the post is reading this, since they obviously check this blog, so whoever you are: don't worry about it, but you should probably ask out of courtesy.
