Am I being illegal?

Its clear the Daily Mail is MNetters fave rag but some people.dont want to support it with clicks because clicks equal prizes.
AIBU/AIBI to suggest that if the mail needs to be linked to, we could instead take a screenshot and upload to a 3rd party image hosting site so the content can be read without giving the mail sweet sweet advertising revenue?

Isn't there another website that has the mail's articles on, but isn't the mail? Or have I imagined that?

TheSpreadingChestnutTree · 04/02/2012 11:41

Just out of interest, how do you take a screenshot?

TheMonster · 04/02/2012 11:41

I love the AIBI!

TheMonster · 04/02/2012 11:42

You press the printscreen (prtscr) button and then you can paste it elsewhere.

The printscreen button??

squeakytoy · 04/02/2012 11:51

the button that says PrtSc

Although to be quite frank.. I really dont get the faux "oooh, I know.. it is the Mail.. I couldnt possibly admit to reading it... oooh... mustnt link to it" palaver...

Obviously you DO read it, even if it is only to deride most of the claptrap they come up with.. as most of us do... you will not turn into Liz Jones if you link to a page .. and Nick Griffin will not be popping round for tea and biscuits...

or we could just stop the faux moralistic "apologies for the dm link..." or caveats and excuses "i don't normally read the mai/somebody sent me this link" bollox.
Have the courage of your own convictions, simply post whatever article it is you want to, don't apologise before people have even read the content and let the article and subsequent debate stand or fall on its own merits.

Just stop reading the Mail. Then you won't want to link to it because you won't know what's in it.

TheSpreadingChestnutTree · 04/02/2012 12:08

Wow what a revalation! I had never noticed the printscreen button. Had to google it to find out where it was!

Anyone know how you turn the spellcheck on on firefox? Grin

I read it online, its crap but its free. It does annoy me that they make money from talking bollox tho. I have frequently seen someone link to it saying how inaccurate. it was which they sent several thousand people there and so financially. rewarded their shitheadedness, particularly since the accusation was against. a friend

Why don't we just stop talking about articles in the Daily Mail. We know they only wind us up.
