News section Rules and Guidelines, READ THIS BEFORE POSTING.

[Rennhack]

We recommend that you avoid reposting news articles in their entirety on NukeWorker.com as it is illegal to do so on a public system such as ours.

Instead, we recommend that you summarize, quote, discuss and link to the original article.

The moderators should delete (or modify if possible) any news posting that does not conform to these rules (Including anything I post, if I break the rules).

What about press releases from a utility? This example seems like a good thing.....

We've heard other rumors in addition to the below.  I don't want to print any rumors here.  I'm sure we'll get the full story soon.

So how would "they" know if you post a big chunk without permission?

A young company called Attributor says it has an answer, and a number of big publishers of copyrighted material say Attributor just might be right.

The company has developed software that identifies an electronic "fingerprint" for a particular piece of material — an article, a picture, a video. Then it hunts down any place across the Web where a significant chunk of that work has been copied, with or without permission.

The Associated Press and Reuters, each of which publishes thousands of pieces of material each day, are among the company's clients, and a number of large magazines and newspapers have been in talks with Attributor. Executives at both wire services said they were still adapting the software to their needs and deciding how to respond to its findings, but they do not doubt it will have some long-term value.

Short clips (quotes, as they called them back in the day) are okay. Summations are okay. Links are good (and usually allows posting of a larger clip without complaint).
