Okay, here's a scenario I would like for you to weigh in on:Of course it can be discussed here. With the proliferation of Twitter users, most breaking news isn't even attributed to the correct person.
What we're talking about is copy/pasting premium content from another site. There's a huge gap between:
- XYZ is reporting ABC
and
- Copy/pasting XYZ's story on ABC
There's a longtime member on OB who continually posts premium "articles" into their discussion forums (one thread in particular) and he/she is never rebuked or had his/her posts deleted. As I am not a member, I don't know the validity of the posts, but he/she usually ascribes it to an OB writer and never with a link.
Whenever I copy/paste one these posts to another site, I always provide the link to that thread and not to the actual "article" (again, I don't have access to the "article") so as to let the reader determine the validity for him/herself.
If I did that here, would it be allowed?
