Legal Question in Intellectual Property in New York

I am starting a site where one feature includes allowing members to "share" third-party articles/news from other sites (i.e. CNN, MSN, Yahoo, etc).

When they share these articles, the articles will post on my site as they are written on the third-party site. The proper credit will be included.

Will this feature violate any copyright laws?

Yes.

It will violate the copyrights of the authors of the articles. "Proper credit" is irrelevant.
