This also ties in with this (attempted blicky here) Tasini thread, which isn't getting as much attention as I'd thought... seems very onpoint, even if it is about what goes out of newspapers and onto the Web... as I said there, WE require our sources to claim they own what they provide, but we cannot make them tell the truth. We can't turn down content out of fear that our sources are misleading us... but is that what the freelancers want us to do?

Anybody know the origin of the term Freelance? Does it really come from the Knights of Yore, renting themselves out with their lances?
