(NaturalNews) Good news: We've just acquired a new domain name that better represents what we're all about here at NaturalNews: NaturalNews.com. We're now in the process of migrating content to NaturalNews.com, and all new content will be featured on NaturalNews.com. There is no change in ownership; this is simply a new, improved domain name for the NaturalNews mission of educating readers about natural living, natural health, health freedom and other important topics.
All permalinks (incoming web links) to
NaturalNews will continue to function forever. We are not deleting anything from NaturalNews, we're just focusing all new content on NaturalNews.com. If you wish to update your links to point to NaturalNews.com, we would appreciate it. All URLs are exactly the same, only the domain name is different. For example, the URL
http://www.NaturalNews.com/022520.html can be updated to link to
http://www.NaturalNews.com/022520.html (notice how the
article number stays the same).
If you are subscribed to our NaturalNews e-mail newsletter, your subscription remains intact, and you will now receive the
NaturalNews e-mail newsletter, which is exactly the same as what the NaturalNews newsletter has been.
Please note that there has been no change in ownership or management here at NaturalNews.com. It's only a name change. We chose this name because it better represents what we're about: Natural living. Some readers had difficulty remembering "NaturalNews" and virtually everyone agrees that "NaturalNews" is a better name for us. (Note: The NaturalNews.com domain name is NOT for sale. We will continue to maintain the content there in perpetuity.)
Our content focus with NaturalNews.com remains exactly the same as before: Stories on the dangers of pharmaceuticals, the benefits of superfoods, nutrition and medicinal herbs,
health freedom, protecting the Earth from destruction, personal empowerment, personal responsibility, critical thinking, renewable energies, etc. We will continue to bring you videos, podcasts, cartoons, articles, interviews, special reports, satire stories and much more throughout 2008 and beyond!
Please have patience with our
website migration process: We may have a few broken links or website glitches over the next few weeks. NaturalNews.com contains over 24,000 web pages, so it's a lot to move. We are working behind the scenes to clean up any glitches and make this transition as smooth as possible.
Google search function: The search function on NaturalNews.com isn't working yet, because
Google has not yet had time to index the new website, so if you're searching for something, stick with the NaturalNews.com search box for the next few days until Google catches up with the indexing.
If you're a writer or columnist who has published stories on NaturalNews, your stories have already been migrated over to NaturalNews.com with everything exactly the same. There is no need to contact us to request that your stories be moved to NaturalNews.com.
Thank you all for your continued readership, and we look forward to a fantastic year of bringing you even better
natural health news, reviews and information than we did before.
Regards,
- Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Notice to web content pirates (scrapers)
Please steal content from NaturalNews.com instead of NaturalNews.com, and soon we're going to start enforcing our requirement that you place a link back to us, or else you'll start getting nasty letters from our legal team. So if you steal our content and place a link back to the original article, I don't mind (although some of our columnists definitely DO mind, you'll need to ask them for permission). But if you steal our content and publish it as your own (like, with your own name as the author), we DO mind and we will probably invoke the utterly stupid and ill-conceived DMCA to protect our content and force you to have the common decency to at least name the original author of the story.
So just play nice, okay? You can scrape my articles, but give credit to the author and include a permalink back to the source. It's really not too much to ask. I don't mind
piracy, but I do mind thievery. (There IS a difference...) Although, I should say that I'm flattered by all the piracy of my articles all over the web because I agree that the mainstream media's junk articles on
health aren't even worth copying and pasting, much less actually reading. If you're gonna pirate content, at least make it quality content (like the articles you'll find here!).
BTW, I hate the RIAA's tyranny tactics as much as you do, and the MPAA isn't much better. I support the open-source community, which is why I maintain this open stance on the copying of my own articles, books, etc., as long as you're not actually selling it for financial gain. I'm also an opponent of many intellectual property laws, but especially those that allow
patents on seeds, genes and medicines, and I think all such patents should be declared "public property" and returned to the People. I've had enough of rich, powerful corporations ripping off the farmers and the sick by claiming patent ownership over chemicals and
genes they originally found in nature. That's outright thievery (but it's called "biopiracy").
