    Hello, im thinking about start to create a local Buzzfeed website for my country (czech). I think I good understand how buzzfeed works - they are checking hot topics&trend on social media, news and blogs. Content could be add by "admins" and users - but my question is, does buzzfeed have a permission for using pictures and contet from other sites?

    What do you think ?

    As far as I understand Buzzfeed reference every source of content on their site and don't require permission. I imagine if a content provider has an issue with them re-posting then they would remove it.

    As long as you reference all sources of content you should be fine.
