Why are people allowed to copy/paste entire news or other articles in offtopic? Its something that has seemed strange to me because the other boards I am on don't allow this because it is against copywrite laws.

If you include the link source at the end of the article I wouldn't think it would be a problem.

I don't really think it is allowed. Perhaps it's not really enforced.

And it's Copyright. :wink:
