Free "Amplify Your Message" by Headliner.fm
-
Ladies and gentlemen:
I thought it’s free to “amplify your message” thru headliner. I felt robbed when my writings were taken by headliner. The blog that i wrote is no longer appearing in the related articles powered by Zemanta, When i checked the “terms” in headliner, I found out that it’s not actually free because the copyright is deemed transferred to them. I felt deceived. Can anybody extend some help? The title of the article is “”Eating Meat with Blood Still in it”: Logic of the Words”. I hoped that they did not revise it to make it appear that it their original concept.aaphil
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If the information here http://suzywalker.wordpress.com/2013/10/07/beware-the-tos-rights-grab-of-headliner/ and here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-take-back-writings/page/2?replies=61 is correct you were robbed and I am surprised WP.com would partner with Headliner.fm whose TOS are nothing short of legal theft, a rights grab that is commonly considered worst business practise.
I trust this is not a sign of what WP.com are coming to.

This constitutes a rights grab, a despicable practise by any company.

Unfortunately, it is just as bad as you imagine. See this now-closed forum thread, in which many of us gave the staff a very clear indication of how we felt about the matter; https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-take-back-writings/page/3?replies=61
Can you disconnect it or opt-out now? I will tag this thread so the Zemanta staff see it and can possibly help you.
