It’s fair use and we link the source. OK. I remember a blogger who shall remain unnamed being upset that an entire long interview of his was copy/pasted, his point being that you could post a part and link to the rest. Hence my comment... It is a fair point. But I would imagine the blogger would also be disappointed about the loss of traffic to his site. I think that's why some sites make you sign up or limit how much you can read for free.

Why?
If you agree to an interview and make responses to questions then you do so on the basis that these are going to be re-produced to a source link to be read freely?
If you are going to freak out about the whole text being re-produced then best to be more selective of the answers to the questions in the first place. Otherwise if there is nothing to hide, then what is the problem with posting the whole thing?
I don't think Frozenhero is referring to the actual answers but to the fact that the blog loses traffic/visitors if the whole interview is posted elsewhere. Most people don't want to click through to another link. Yes true, I hadn't looked at it like that.
This idea of 'losing traffic' seems rather absurd to my simple straightforward mind. Probably because I am old fashioned enough to think that if you have something to say, just say it. There was a time when people communicated with the voice that Mother Nature gave them.
And then people wonder why there is so much gossip rather than actual substance around. Not that kind of 'substance', mind...

If you've got heavy traffic it's not a big deal But yes, websites don't pay themselves. Sorry for the Umleitung (deviation)

I will cheerfully click through to another link as long as it doesn't have lots of noisy ads on it. (Videos that play without me asking them too soon have me running away.) I always go look at the site if there is an interview - there may be pics, there may be interesting links. This page says powered by a Sinclair ZX81! That's a bit of news in itself! Probably not lots and lots of those still in work nowadays. Doing a fine job too by the look of it.
