Life’s too short to muck with e-news sources that disable copy-paste

Life is too short to muck about with electronic news sources that don’t let me save text, email annotations, and blog excerpts. I can understand restricting the free stuff that’s given away on web sites, but punishing paid subscribers by taking away the flexibility and mash-up-ability of etext?

This is all rather amusing, not unlike watching Time-Warner stumble from the laughable to the ill-advised AOL merger. It sounds like the guys who make these decisions need a cute six-year-old kid in the boardroom, maybe with name like Little Timmy Freckles or Sally-Ann Buttercup, who will point out all the flaws in the plan.
