And CBC wants rent for posting, or re-posting their stories
See little line at top of stories
“New licensing option: POST all or part of this article on a web site, intranet or blog. ”

Which leads to :

They were fed regularly, the mandatory hoop-jumping was probably a factor though.

If by “poached” you mean, “fled the CBC like half-starved rats,” you’d be right.

Merry Christmas to you, too!!

Content sharing, I think the business brains call it.

Any producers or writers or CMG members give a crap?

This is a real mindblower. If seeing that subdomain

nationalpost.cbc.ca

isn’t fried enough, all those bitchen interactives come from the NYT!

Does that mean they count as CBC content in light of how much CBC.ca talent they poached?

Merry UX-Mas to all my Manhattan hosers!

The link to Vancouver Now on cbc.ca sports now links to http://nationalpost.cbc.ca/olympics.

And that page says:
