Wouldn't a Creative Commons license clarify this? For example, you can set your use to allow no modifications.
By the way, you can also create a handy CC module in blogware, as I've done on my weblog.

you need new "Recent Photos" dude.

FYI. That was my own personal opinion. After that article was posted, I got a couple of e-mails as the Chair of Task Force, both from members of the Task Force and Non-members asking how it was that we came to a conclusion so fast and that we were not doing our job (which is to collect information). The Task Force was accused of having an agenda and that there was no way the work could be done in an objective manner.
I sent the e-mail out for people to be careful when making posts. Again, blogs are valuable, but we also need some sort of balance without unnecessary distractions. We want to get the work done, solicit opinions, but not prejudge the results.
That was my only personal objective.

"I wouldn't be too impressed if someone started editing my content post-syndication for re-publication elsewhere. I don't mind the republication, but modifying my words to state something else (even if it is consistent with my position) is just uncool. Just because what I post is easily accessible doesn't mean that what I post is in the public domain."
