FYI: Copying news/articles from websites

Hi! Please don´t copy/paste entire articles from websites, that´s almost always a copyright violation (check the "Terms of Service" of the website or the copyright notice). Only post the link to the article. It´s ok to quote a few lines from a copyrighted text, a short free article (less than one page) can be posted in its entirety. Please always provide the original link and always wrap quoted text in Quote tags or use Italics. Thanks!
