I snipped half a dozen paragraphs that had been copied word-for-word from the Daily Mail’s website. That’s a copyright violation. The link isn’t.

Under that logic, posting the link is a copyright violation as it does not belong to us.

Both this list and wikien-l are public. To repost a substantial portion of a news website’s article on either of these mailing lists is a copyright violation.
