Not disused articles at all, just old ones

Nope..
Edit: I can give a moderator the link to access it so he can confirm it's legit as long as he promises to keep it for himself and not to spread it.


So why can i find the same articles there? The examples you gave match the text on the articles.

Because I gave you two articles from the very first page of the database, so yes, there's a high chance its used. And not only that, as I said in the first post, these are articles made by journalists/reporters, so there's always the chance they've published them theirselves.

Once again, I don't mind giving it to a moderator so he can confirm its legit.

Yea I have editted my previous reply a little bit because I missread you (I thought you asked for a link to the very database, but you only wanted the name)
Ok, let me ask you this then:  How much does it cost you for access?  And who do you purchase it through?

I didn't pay for it, I got it from a close friend who has discovered how to access it himself. He allowed me to sell it (assuming ofcourse that I share profit) as long as I didnt sell it to too many people, and as long as it are people I can kinda trust (read: not people with 1 post)
Fair enough.  So it's something that a person couldn't just go out and buy access to, normally, but something that only reporters or other publication-related personnel might have access to?

Also, does it violate any copyright laws to publish these articles, or are the articles deemed "copyright free" until published once they are placed in this database?

o.O  Those are old PUBLISHED newspapers... I don't see unpublished articles there?


The articles they are selling i bet are the old articles. newspaper editors do not post their work on a database for others to see... and potentially use.

The articles are most definatly old archived papers.

What I'm selling is billions of articles, that are NEVER used.

So yes, there's a small chance you'll find a used article.

Excuse me if I'm also a bit skeptical of the claim that there are "billions" of articles in this database. One million writers would have to contribute one thousand pieces each just to equal one billion articles and that seems very unlikely to me.

The database contains articles from over a two hundred year period(with a few actually dating from before 1800), I thought it was an exaggeration at first too, but I've seen the list and it's just.. endless.

And just to make clear, the majority of the articles is from the "modern time" (aka when they started writing them on computers), simply because articles before the digital age usually didn't get saved/stored.

I am assuming you are not the only one who has access to this database... who else does?  And what is the name of the database?

No, I am not the only one, but this ain't a public database either. It's used by reporters and other people to store their articles. So yes, there's a small chance you'll find a used article. But out of the billions of articles that shouldn't be a worry. Ofcourse I'm not going to give you the name, that would kind of ruin the purpose of me trying to sell it :p
Well, if it's a database that I could have access to for $25, and you're selling it for 25BTC, I'd like to know.
