Hey, maybe stock prices will go up with all that saved money!

Or even better, maybe they can afford to pay the CMs more

What money is the company saving? Disney is now paying a higher combined total to the two men than before.

The headline could have been, "New Parks Boss Staggs Get Higher Higher Pay than Predecessor; New CFO Rasulo Gets Raise."

Previously, Staggs (as CFO) earned a higher base than Rasulo (as Parks & Resort chairman).

Iger swapped their jobs.

Staggs got to keep his higher base. Rasulo's base was brought up to match Staggs.

CR Resort Fan 4 Life posted a link to the copyrighted article. Good.

WDWKOOK copied and pasted the entire article.

One of these days DISboards is going to find themselves in legal hot water over illegal use of copyrighted material.

1) OMG !
2) He made only $9.3 million last year, and now can't get a raise.
3) Not even a cost-of-living increase.
4) Bummer.

NOTE: At least the CM's at the parks got their 4% raise in October-2009.

1) Not as long as you credit the source.
2) Besides, news articles and press releases are not treated the same way.
3) As long as it is considered Fair Use, no problem.

1) In that case, I'll just republish Time Magazine every week, with my advertising instead of Time's advertising. That sure beats having to write my own stories or paying writers to do so. I'll just credit the source!

2) Jason Garcia's Orlando Sentinel article is a copyrighted news article, not a press release.

3) Quoting a limited excerpt from an article in the context of commentary is considered an example of fair use. Reprinting copyrighted material in its entirety so that readers have no reason who go to the original source material (thereby hurting the copyright owner financially) is normally not considered fair use.

My guess is that if the Orlando Sentinel started reprinting entire articles and/or photo pages from the DIS (wdwinfo.com) without permission, the owners of the DIS would not be happy.

Yes. That's true. But not all use of copyrighted material without permission is considered fair use.
