Just wondered if there is any policy on people pasting things from other websites? On the Blackburn site I post on they had a well document case of another messageboard being sued by a news site for breach of copyright pinned at the top for a while.
Basically, the jist of it was that if you paste things from Skysports.com, BBC.co.uk or wherever then you are breaching copyright. In most cases they won't do anything, but it would probably be safer from people to just link to the article. The site in question (forget which it was) just posted transfer news and things onto their messageboards, the site got fed up and took them to court.
Also...it gets on my nerves.
