Do you post news? Learn Here!

How many of you know that when you quote a news source you have a few copyright laws you have to follow?

It's something along the lines of you can only use a blurb from the news source and you must link to the rest of the news. News sites like google, yahoo, etc do it this way, but it always seems GFY doesn't.. It's a copyright violation for the poster and Lenz.

As an example thread of what not to do: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=493984

As an example of how to link news:
"As a strengthening Hurricane Emily hurtled toward northeastern Mexico on Tuesday, residents and officials alike scrambled to avoid a repeat of the hurricane" http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/world/3273790

Does anyone even care?
