Hi all,

Do you think it is possible (legal and allowed) to quote certain news from different sites like BBC or CNN, as contents in one's website? Say for example I have a Banking related website especially dealing with "Investment Packages and Loans". So again, do you think it is possible to quote (news agency) and restructure the articles to put as contents on my page?

I'm new to this and I hope someone will help me out.

Thanks for reading through.

cheers,

@ moderator: If this topic should be under Legal section then may I please ask you to move it. Thanks

Legal? No. Very common practice? Yes.

And if you are crediting the source of information, the resource site will be happy. However, I've seen AP and Reuters taking very strong stance against their content being used without permission.

Some may quote Fair Usage, but that also is a very subjective law and completely based on the perception of the company / person whose content you are using and the judge deciding the case.

However, when it comes you just taking the FACTS, no one has a copyright over that. If you are restructuring the content articles, then I'd recommend that you take multiple sources of the same news (use google news to find out) and write the content based on those sources.

Someone said that copying one source is plagiarism and copying from multiple sources is research.

Maybe you just say, "A certain article said that blah blah blah (but these are your own, just reworded)

a mixture of lots of original content and a little relevant news feed content is indexed happily by the SE.

Don't be afraid to put relevant news feeds on your site (and update them of course)
