Ok, I am in the process of building an aggregation script that will bring content to one of my news blogs automatically. Fresh news will be published as blog posts and I intend to put a link back to the originating site on the bottom of each post. Can I get in trouble for this or is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks Jon for completely missing my question. Because of your rank on this forum, I know that I will be getting nothing but flame just for following up.

I thought I can just get a straight answer whether this is a legit practice or not. I am well aware that there are resources such as ezinearticles where people can get writeups and such - and I know that people have been doing this for the longest time. But what I am asking here is is it ok to scrape articles word for word from sources such as CNN.com or other big media sites? It's an honest question and I wouldn't be asking if I know what the answer is.

First of all, because of his rank?? Check that badge son!

Second, start fucking reading something. Every answer to all of your questions is in this very forum you're posting dumbass threads in.

okay asshole show me all the answers (existing threads) to ALL of my previous questions. fucking loudmouth.
 
You should ask at ezinearticles. They're a better forum for this sort of stuff. We're all just into being gay here.
 
Take it easy, Brother. Relax

I'd think there probably wouldn't be a problem with legality as it's the most general form of content syndication.

I figured I'd hide and post this question here because it's after 4 AM right now and there's probably a really simple answer to this...

First of all, I posted this in the newbie section at fucking 4 in the morning because I was tired and didn't know the answer to a simple question.

Second of all, I posted it in a section where I knew I wouldn't annoy people because I knew it was a stupid question.

Third, shut the fuck up. Don't quote my newbie forum threads and try and call me out. There are areas of knowledge discussed in this forum that I know a lot about, and I contribute accordingly. But there are also areas I don't know shit about. I posted there about something I was clueless about because I KNEW THAT'S WHERE THAT QUESTION belonged.

So go ahead and tuck your tail between your legs and give up, cause every word you type is increasing your idiot score

Excuses. I've read your posts and the questions you've thrown in the past. You amuse me with your perceived superiority and glaring stupidity. You are pathetic. I could waste my time responding to your lame and juvenile keyboard-warrior type insults but I chose to learn (and maybe ask more "stupid" questions) and make more money in the process. So congrats buddy, you just made it to my ignore list.
