    Copying content from another site, would definately harm to site, atleast in terms of seo. But Is it legal to copy/publish press release (specially free one)?

    Press releases are meant to be released so any news site can post them right?

    Yes, you're allowed to repost a press release. That's their purpose. And if you look into any newswire you'll likely be able to find in their TOS that anyone submitting a release has to grant that permission.

    Hence the words "press release." ;)

    Heck, there are 1000s of websites out there that do nothing but post PRs as their content.
