Boycott the M*rror

[eyejay51]

Does this go for every football forum in the country or just here? Also what about things like twitter,I see articles pasted on there everyday.

Very valid questions - 'kin Mirror Group. I thought they'd be way too busy hacking phones to be bothered about ickle old BlueMoon.

The fuckers didn't ask my permission when they printed a picture of me at Wembley in 2011.

Considering what they wrote about Sterling was borderline inciting hatred I couldn't give a shit if they lose out on revenue, that's the idea of pasting the article, so we don't have to give them the ad revenue. Disgusting cunts.

You see, that's the issue. They want the ad revenue, as that's how they make a huge amount of their money. From a legal standpoint pasting an article so "The Mirror don't get their ad revenue" is entirely unacceptable.

Of course their approach to what is, in the grand scheme of things, a pitifully small amount of lost revenue, is draconian (copyright law is so outdated as it doesn't come close to handling modern methods of sharing data), heavy handed and always likely to be antagonistic. There's nothing forcing anyone to click on the Mirror website and give them money, and actions like this one aren't going to encourage people to do so, in fact they'll result in exactly the opposite.

In the forum rules it says not to post articles but to provide the links to the article.

everyone knows that ;)

F*cking disgraceful as they get all there transfer information from here in the first place.
As the Trinity Mirror group also owns the MUEN what about that?

From a moral standpoint the Mirror inciting hatred against a 20 year old man which contributed to death threats against his infant daughter and racist abuse at his partner is not only unacceptable but absolutely abhorrent.

Shit paper as proven with that awful headline from the other day. We can find the same news from other papers.

We don't need to boycott the paper in the sense that we stop buying it. We should have a blanket boycott - the forum becomes a 'Mirror Free Zone'!

Remember all the fuss about the hacking enquiry, freedom of the press etc? Piers Morgan used to work for them FFS! Why does anyone still read this piece of toilet paper? As for boycotting the mirror, that has much more to do with my BMI than football journalism.

Sorry, that wasn't originally meant to be my suggestion! Didn't think anyone bought it anyway tbh :D

Absolutely, and I concur. Just saying that it's not surprising they then do this in response.
