Note-Craigslist Policy Gives Them Exclusive Rights to Your CL Listings

#31- hi Gita, I'm not really ue what their intent is, but I think they could word it differently.

#32- Hi Phil, it does sound scary when first read, and I can see where people would hesitate to push " continue" after reading this.

#33- Hi Michael, It's at least worth checking out to see what CL's intent really is.

#34- Hi Fernando, You're welcome. Thanks for leaving that $100.00 bill inside of your combo box on your new short sale listing. Maybe now people can find your listings easier!

#35- Hi Raymond, It might be good in some ways, but others ways it sounds a little scary if people are'nt clear on what it really means.

#36- Hi Kristin, In this area CL ds aren't that effective from waht I've seen and heard. it is a continuos source of info for scammers.

#37- Hi John, Hmm, maybe linking to cl is something they don't approve of? I guess it depends on how you are using their content.

#38- Hi Travis, It might not make much difference for many users, but we'll have to see how it plays out.

#39- Poster unidentified?

#40- Hi Roger, maybe, and the scammers are going to use the info on CL no matter what. Maybe this will give CL a stronger legal postion when they go after people that are using their content in the wrong way?

#41- Hi Richie, Yeah, it jsut seems like we have to constantly monitor everything we do, and every company we do business with.

#43- Hi Terry, I don't use CL much anymore either. I get better resluts from other places.

#44- Hi Bob, It's true. If you go to CL to post a listing. Just go through the steps as if you were posting, and on about the 4th or 5th step of the process you'll see the disclosure at bottom of page.

#45- Hi Charlie, See my replt to #44. It's something we should check out and verify how it will affect us.

#47- Hi Morris, I never had many reasons to use craigslist to begin with. Most contacts from CL were just time wasters.

#48- Hi Rebecca, That seems to be the trend.

#49- All Star- I actually placed an ad on CL yesterday, but I don't expect any calls from it.

#50- Hi Bob, I agree. It would be almost impossible to monitor. They are probaby going after people that are creating other businesses using CL content. I don't know if papmapper was earning $ or not using CL content to create apps?

#51- Hi Karen, Face to face can be much better than non serious leads from CL and the internet.

#52- Hi Lyn, CL works well in certain areas ( like college towns and crowded cities) for example, by seems like many areas it just hasn't caught on. This could be just to strenghen CL's legal position when going after violators. You're right, each agent should know what they are doing when placing ads anywhere.

#53- Hi Jan, I think lots of agentss are done with CL, or they just go back and forth trying it every now and then. I doubt too many businesses suffer from not placing ads on CL.

#54- Hi Lenn, I agree, the people placing the ads are the ones responsible for ensuring the content in not protected by copyright. Even MRIS has no way of knowing if photos placed in virtual tours on their site have been taken from another agents listing. The violators are the ones that are liable. " Ignorance of the law is not a defense" as they saying goes."

#56- Hi Marsha, It would be nice if they included an explantion of what their disclosure means.

#57- Hi Gene, Even without this new disclosure, i wasn't that happy with results from CL anyway. I just tried a site that is very similar to craigslist. www.kijiji.com, or www.ebayclassifieds.com. I'm making another attempt with www.backpage.com as well and see what kind of results I get get from those.
