Legal Question in Technology Law in Texas
copywrite law
If i run a news site and I am copy / pasting a full article from any other news site, and in the end give a link to the original site or direct link to the source where teh article is taken from, is it enough for my site to become legit, or I have to ask permission from each news site seperatly?
Thanks in advance.

Copying and pasting another's (or other copyright owner's) news article without permission violate's the author's copyright. You should also obtain the author's (or other copyright owner's) permission for linking.
