    Not really. Some blogs doesn't mind if it's copied but, I suggest to ask them first if it's okay with them. But, just to be sure, create authentic content for them. It's still the best way. :)

    If you are concerned about this then simply post a thread in "Legal Issues" forum, and sooner or later a lawyer will respond by posting or PM you. Here you will only get "opinions" not legal training or experience.

    Ask the person first as it may break the copy right violation. You can also reference the author of the article somewhere I think,

    If you just take a 3-4 sentences from the other blogs news it could be counted as a quotation but I highly advice to provide own unique quality content. You will gain a lot more traffic in combination with good off and on page seo.

    This area seems to be about creating original sales copy NOT copyright issues . . . I think you are in the wrong area for this question unless i am mistaken.

    As others have said you should have posted in the legal section.

    The answer to your question does not require a lawyer. It's copyright law 101. Without permission, you CAN NOT copy someone else's article and post it on your own site. Identifying where the article came from DOES NOT somehow magically make it OK.

    If you are unwilling or unable to write your own content, you should Google "article directories". Those are sites where participating authors grant people permission to use their articles as long as certain conditions are met - generally maintaining an author box or other links.

    Copying articles or blogs from other websites will not fetch positive response from online traffic. I would always suggest you to use unique, genuine and grammatically correct content to grab attention of web traffic. Do not copy. It will hamper your online reputation.:D

    For news articles so far I know, you can use the quotes that are used inside the article. But, you will also have to mention the source in parenthesis.
    Having said so, I would suggest you to seek for permission from the site owner before using the content or else you might find yourself in jeopardy.

    It really depends and has to be looked at case to case. You are better off quoting a few lines and linking to the article.

    That is copyright infringement.

    Better stay on the right side of the law if you don't want trouble.

    Best advice is not to copy content. You can provide references or quotes to articles within your content and then link to that content. In fact it does a lot of good for your ranking if your do but don't use other peoples work because eventually you get found out. This is why Google keep hitting us with these algorithm updates because so much stuff is scraped, spun and copied on such an industrial scale. Let's face it, how long does it take to write 300-400 word optimised content? Not long and people will want to link to your site, your ranking will improve and you won't get a cease and desist in your email.

    As far as I know you can only grab content from article directories and always link to the author (i.e. keep the bio intact in article). When publishers submit articles they automatically give permission for others to use them on their websites/blogs.

    But if you go to a website you can't just use the article on your website, some folks don't want that even if you link back to them, others won't mind. You can though link to the article itself (not copy it on your website) or ask them permission.

    If you copy an article even if you link to source you're infringing the Copyright All Rights Reserved located at bottom of most websites.
