    Hi everyone,

    I have a website about economy, actually about one economical topic. I would like to post on my site every news that is related to this topic. Also I would like to include adsense ads on my site.

    So for example Some News Agency reports that someone had bought a 10% stake in one company.

    Some News Agency agency put that info:
    "The copying, republication or redistribution of content, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without the prior
    written consent"

    What would be a perfectly legal use of that news?

    1. Can i write 2 sentences that someone bought some shares, and write "according to News Agency"?

    2. Can i cite a title and 2 sentences in quotation marks and write source: News Agency?

    3. Should i put a link to that news at agency's site?

    Thanks in advance, im looking forward to replies.

    You're perfectly entitled to grab snippets or quotes as long as you credit them to their source. By linking to the source you're also telling the SEs the originating article so that certainly helps.
