I am trying to start an article database and am planning to take randome articles from ezine and many other places to build up my article site. But do i need permission? Or can i just write in my disclaimer that everything is owned by the respectful owners? thanks
Most of those sites offer their content for reuse; some require attribution, others do not. You'll have to refer to the TOS of the site you want to use. As a writer, I do beg you to leave the links intact as it is the only payment received for these articles.
