I have noticed this as well and I thinkI have been but think I will do the same until we can find out for sure...I would have brought it over partially with a link but not sure if that apply's anymore either...maybe we need to further check this copyright thing out.

I have been trying to research all of the copyright laws and it get's really fuzzy. Infringement laws, fair use laws, and safe harbor laws all apply. Today I came across another copyright with the added text and noticed at the bottom of the screen the word share. Seems contradictory to me. I placed this in the hands of someone that can give us a definite answer until then I think we are safe to proceed as usual until we get a definite answer since from what I read we would have to be warned and given a chance to take down the article.

Thanks MontereySherry we really need to keep up on these changes

It all boils down to money. The only place I have seen this new added text are from certain Newspapers. With people no longer buying newspapers and instead getting their news on the internet news chains are losing money. I think they are trying to lay a legal foundation for stopping or controling their news articles.

I always wondered how newspapers would continue with the internet and of course cell phones with access worldwide, could survive, guess this is how.
