Can you Post Full News Strories from Other Sources?

In my opinion as long as you link correctly to the source you should be good (and i wouldn't try putting adsense on a cites post, looks too risky)

Full stories? I would be worried about the duplicate content penalty from Google they probably will not even index it so what's the point?

Is this your main blog? Or a throwaway type site?

I do not see a problem with it as long as you give proper credit to the original source. ( link back )

If your not concerned about seo then go for it!

Give credit to the source like entrepreneurjay said and select news that is hot and use keywords relating to that and you should be fine and get a lot of hits I would think.

As long as you don't mind the future lawsuits for copyright infringement and DMCA takedown notices, you should be fine.

It doesn't matter if you give them credit, if you don't have their permission or the rights to the story, you are breaking copyright laws.

If you don't want people using your content, disable right-click.

It's extremely common for people to copy/paste/quote content from other sources, with credit of course.

I don't see anything wrong with it at all so long as credit is given. It's happened to me and it doesn't bother me.

I've had people steal, spin and repost my content which I'm not fine with, I've had people straight up copy/paste my content without credit which I'm not fine with, but hey if you want to post an article I wrote on your site, tell your readers I wrote it, and give them a link back to my page I have absolutely no problem with that.

The short answer is NO! It is quite comon in the news bisiness to rewrite other news articles though. One of my writers, when I ran a News site, would research all the other stories on the topic he was writing and write his story. Very similar to article writers researching by reading what has been published and writing their article.

If you want to publish news stories, unless you are going to go out and interview the people in the story, that is the way you have to do it.

I used to have a Google news site, so I know a little about this.

Article directories, press release sites probably are the exceptions.

Content curation (aggregation) is big. However, if you try to republish FULL material without permission, you'll get into trouble. That's not fair use. It's theft, to put it bluntly.

You're not the Huffington Post, or All Things Digital. These sites do publish full material from sources, linking to the source.

They can do this because the HuffPo has millions of visitors a month, and ATD is owned by the Wall Street Journal. They can do stuff which would get you nothing but trouble if you tried it. These sites' visitors and the exposure they give are the value they provide.

Think VALUE. You need to provide value if you attempt content curation. You can't just grab what you want. Sooner or later someone will notice, and things will get very uncomfortable for you.

"Ethical" depends on how big you are. If you're a minnow, don't attract the attention of sharks. This is just common sense.

As a rule of thumb, never grab a quote of more than ten per cent from a source, and of course, provide full attribution. You'll notice that Amazon offers ten per cent or so of a book in its "Look Inside" feature.

When I want to reference others' material in a blog post, I rarely use more than a sentence or two, and always provide full attribution. I never get anywhere near ten per cent.

In a nutshell: if you want to do content curation, ask yourself what VALUE you provide.

No. It is copyrighted material like any other original source. In addition, much of the news is distributed through a paid source who owns the copyright.

This is actually a good question and it would help if someone in the news site business actually chipped in with experienced opinions.

News is different than other kinds of written content in that you often see the same exact story on several big, reputable news sites. So this raises questions in some people's minds such as the OP as to what they are allowed to do with news stories.

But as I understand it, these big news sites that do this pay money to be part of the AP (Associated Press) or other associations like that where they get news stories pre-written and they can add their reporting to those stories or just publish them as is.

So, it's a completely valid question as people rightly wonder how these things are even allowed and possible.

There may even be news sites that encourage reposting of their stories with proper attribution, I don't know.

Bottom line is seek out the right, legal information and don't just take the opinions of posters, on both sides of the argument. Find someone with experience in the news site biz. Ask other news sites what their rules are; examine their terms of service, etc.

There may be completely legal ways to do this, but first and foremost you should not start out by just re-posting news stories and thinking it's ok to do without knowing for sure. Of course copyright laws apply, etc. if the stories are not allowed to be posted by anyone who pleases.

Pay no attention to those saying it's okay to copy & paste full articles. They are just dumb kids, newbies or lifetime newbies. In fact, put them on your ignore list right now. Anyone giving this kind of bad advice probably shouldn't be trusted on any topic.

I am not from usa,but even I know,that you can.

I'm amazed that this conversation has taken these dips and turns.

There is some real wisdom here by some wise and ethical marketers: No you cannot steal someone else's content. It does not matter if it is a newspaper, magazine, radio, or TV.

News story (content) copy is protected by copyright. Plain and simple. End of story.

The story is copyrighted: the news is not. You can comment, tell the story in your words, give your opinion...but you cannot "steal" a news story.

No you cannot just copy it and post it on your site or blog. Don't do it! And why would you want to anyway?

Giving your view, opinion, and discussion on a news story is much more powerful than simply stealing the news story. And you can still tell the story....

As has been mentioned: use all the articles you like as well as long as you add the author's links at the end of the article.

Here is something you can legally steal. And I do this all the time. All the time.
I use:
Press Releases!

Well,when you write the same story with your own words,it's like using synonims.
Autoblogging is rule

WHEW! I'm glad to hear that it's okay to use other people's stuff as long as you "give credit."

So here's my idea for a new blog...

John Grisham has a fairly new book out -- Calico Joe. My idea is to load up the entire book onto my blog and give it away for free. I'll be sure to link back to his website.

Here's my thinking on this one:

1. I'm giving it away for free, so it's not as if I'm directly making money with it. I mean, it's not like he can sue me or anything, right?

2. This is win-win. I just know he's going to be thrilled when he sees he got a link from my site.

All right, off to implement my idea...

P.S. :rolleyes:

There is a plugin for wordpress, which posts articles from Ezinearticles, this way authors are credited.

Those who use full rss in his blogs, by default agree that it will be used for others.
If not,use short feeds.
