Hey, I am curious to know what exactly are the regulations and approved content in publishing a online news site. Also, can I publish articles from other sites? (with the link of their site at the end of the article) Is that legal?
No, it is not legal to post articles from other sites without their express written permission to do so. Simply providing a link back does not fulfill this requirment. If you look at my blog's legal page, here you will see an example where this would be allowed. In my blog, I allow it if it meets the requirments of that page, i.e. a linkback with credit. However, this is a form of licensing giving express written permission.
