IANAL, but I know that with books, they're copyrighted and you can't
just snarf them. I would assume that the same is true for print news
media. Can you/do you do the same thing for your website stories? I
assume that if the Register snakes the story direct, you could give them
a call and ask for compensation or cease-and-desist? Anyone ever heard
of the Berne Convention?
