@UnfairRepresent

I'm glad you asked my opinion Cpt_Pineapple.

Firstly a lot of sites void their copyright entirely and encourage spreading of their articles. Such as this one:

https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/miracle-on-eighty-fifth-street-is-about-how-a-huge-dog-saved-my-childs-life/

Secondly some others only care about credit or monetary gain. IF you're a non-profit medium and credit/source them then they don't care. This is more relevant for news articles than for anything else.

This is something news outlets literally do with other news outlets, just take a look at this Fox News Article:

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/01/21/kabul-intercontinental-hotel-siege-leaves-more-than-40-dead-afghanistan-official-says.html

The entire article has no new information and is just spreading word from an Associated Press story. But they credited it.

Some news sites even copy and paste articles from others directly via this method.

Thirdly and most importantly there is a distinction that overrides copyright both legally and following the TOU of this side which is called Fair Use. Where you can use part of a copyrighted material so long as you are doing so for a reasonable logical reason that furthers education, art or entertainment.

In this case simply removing a paragraph or two from the article, crediting it, linking to it and doing so for reasonable purposes, means you are not violating copyright.

To break the law you would have to post something from a non-consenting site, with no credit or source, in it's entirity.

Which close to no one does and when they do, they actually do get moderated. This is why that Empty Throttle guy resorted to writing his own STUPID BLACK varations of the news story involING Pointless Caps and TRANSGENDER shock buzzwords DEAD!

iirc, they wanted no more than the first couple lines and then a link. was tedious.
