    You can't directly copy & paste someone else text to your own website even if you do provide a link at the bottom. No one is going to click on it if they already read it?

    We can provide a few lines then a link, anyone who wants to read more can do so by going to the actual website who wrote that article.

    The more hits their page receives the longer that journalist will still have a job and if Paul Mason came along and copy & pasted it to this website, that would be 100+ hits they've lost.

    We are not saying 'do not provide a link' just don't copy & paste the whole story., two to three lines max.

    I'm sure other websites do copy & paste, might find it there.

      To be fair to MYU that's a fair comment.

      I don't like links to external sites personally & prefer Paul's style of reading the story but as MYU explained it is for reasons, I can live with that.

        I found this from another forum, exactly the same and not to sure if I can copy & paste that to this site in order that we can use it?

            Not sure why the link does not work for some?

            MYu is right, we can;t just post the whole text and put a link at the bottom. If it was proboards or a similar site we probably could, but we actually own this site and try to recoup back what is paid, by getting advertising in

              I don't know why this subject keeps coming up? It's not rocket science. If Pete and MYU started a private QPR related TV station do you not think the BBC would get annoyed if they started showing Match of the Day without permission when QPR were on?
