Comments on: Have Baptist churches in Ireland found a loophole in broadcasting legislation? http://www.lecraic.com/2009/04/11/have-baptist-churches-in-ireland-found-a-loophole-in-broadcasting-legislation/ craic from ireland Wed, 01 Feb 2012 23:54:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sean http://www.lecraic.com/2009/04/11/have-baptist-churches-in-ireland-found-a-loophole-in-broadcasting-legislation/comment-page-1/#comment-16417 Sean Fri, 04 Sep 2009 08:29:20 +0000 http://www.lecraic.com/?p=1896#comment-16417 I didn't see the original material, but Pastor Smith is presumably aware that Irish copyright law allows "fair dealing". Materials can be reproduced for the purposes of criticism, so long as the attribution is clearly stated, and the materials reproduced are sufficient and required. I missed the advert, but I did receive one of their leaflets (presumably from Smith's Calvary Baptist Biblical inerrancy bunch). There may well be a missing answer, but I doubt the answer is found by pulling ideas our of your arse and then fishing for scriptural support.

As mentioned in my email, I quite often do screen captures to illustrate a blog post. I didn't think there would be a problem with my doing so in this case but all is now rectified. @Pastor Smith – I have changed the graphic as per your request.

You will have noticed “All information on this site is Copyright © Missing Answer”. It seems rather odd that you put up a webpage questioning the legality of the Missing Answer ad when you are clearly breaking the copyright of Missing Answer.

It's the not-so firmly held ones that create the hypocritical situation where religions are not allowed to advertise on the television but there are few schools or hospitals that you can go to in this country where religions aren't involved. I wonder did the religious say, "Who cares about the telly, we'll get 'em in the classrooms/ at birth/ at death/ at life's crisis points?" I get your point though and I am as curious as you are to find out what's going on. I will be watching with interest! Firmly held beliefs I have no problem with.

But this post is really about how the current regulations were bypassed - so my interest is to see where it goes from here - the BCI are investigating at the moment.

Wondering if I can ring them and tell them not to bother to drop it into my house? What a waste of paper! That said religion is a lifestyle choice similar to where you shop, which car you drive, where you holiday. All of these things can be advertised on television so why not?
