Hey Garry. Definitely I would agree that you didn’t do anything inherently wrong here, given the Quora ToS; mostly I am arguing reposting entire articles/items to be a bad idea because it would encourage your users to do so when it’s not legal. I hope my comment doesn’t feel like an attack and want to thank you for finding & sharing this interesting anecdote.

I am basing my criticism of “Posterous culture” solely on your post and the one I mentioned that copied my entire blog post. Do you think I’m on to something, or do you think Posterous users probably infringe just as much as users of any other blog service?

If anything, our focus on email and creation tools spurs far more original content than other traditional blogging methods.

We do honor DMCA takedown requests -- they're fairly easy to do and we are very mindful of taking down infringing content.
