Boston Globe Changes Its Copyright Notice on Internet;  "Copyright by New York Times" Is Changed
Tries to Give the Appearance that It Is Locally Owned and Managed
            The Boston Globe quietly changed its copyright notice on Boston.com last week in an attempt to make its readers believe that it is locally owned and managed.
            This became an important issue in 2003 when Attorney J. Edward Pawlick sued the Globe for libeling his wife, Sally Pawlick, 16 times in 2002. As proof that the Globe is not independent of its owner, The New York Times Company, Pawlick pointed repeatedly to the fact that every story on Boston.com was copyrighted by the Times and not by the Globe.
            Pawlick's suit was thrown out of court, as he knew it would be, by the federal judge in Boston who is a close friend of Ted Kennedy who appointed her to the Court (as is the right of all Senators in their state). But Pawlick, who had sued the Times and not the Globe, made his point and made it clear that he was losing only because the bias in the Massachusetts courts includes our federal courts as well.
            Now the Globe has quietly admitted that he was right and he has not quietly gone away as they expected when his suit was summarily dismissed by the federal judge. He is now flying airplanes around the state and airing advertisements on the major radio stations to tell everyone about the corruption in this state that is largely the product of the Globe.
            Therefore, the lawyers for the Globe are telling their client that they had better change their copyright notice. After all, the owners of the Globe do not want Massachusetts residents to understand that they are merely another outpost of The New York Times Company, which is taking a beating everywhere since Pawlick took his true experience to the attention of the public across the entire country with his book, "Libel by New York Times."
