Re: big sunspot transiting the solar disk now

An interesting point except that the core information is free to anyone
who monitors the Sun.
Anyone who feels excited by the transit of a large sunspot can post
much the same information that Sam did. Importantly Sam also links to
the service provider. In other words he could have simply mentioned the
spot as a solar observer and ignored the service.
Solar observation is not yet copyrighted but somebody somewhere must be
working with a lawyer to do so. Probably that hifi cable manufacturer
suing everybody's arse for using its common-or-garden name. As long as
nobody mentions giant sunspots we should be be okay though.
