Default Content From Other Sites
For the most part, it's better to only quote maybe the first paragraph of an article and include a link to it than to copy a whole article from another site into a post. (Copyright issues and all that.) Some websites don't mind, but some websites might, and I'd rather not deal with a cease and desist letter from one that does.

Thanks, everybody!

Default Exception - Press Releases
Actually, press releases are okay to copy and paste into threads here, as they're meant to be reprinted.

What about articles from Reuters and other news sources?

I understand if it's content specific to one website, but what about content that can be found on multiple sites?

Please let me know, and I will be happy to comply.

Reuters is fine too, because that's meant to be syndicated.

I only brought it up because a buddy of mine had an issue with this recently.

Oh, it's no problem at all. I just wanted to make sure I was clear on it. The last thing I want to do is get anyone in trouble.

Thanks for the clarification.
