Cutting and pasting from internet websites

[robinessex]

Why are you suddenly removing cut and paste from BBC and other websites, when the link to those is included, thus acknowledging the copyright of the originator. It's been done before at all as far as I can tell for many years, and not been stopped. Not being allowed to publish relevant news from websites basically ruins the ability to show what is being published relevant to the topic.

Acknowledging the copyright doesn’t help from a legal pov.

True but even newspapers do this.
