I'd like to toss this one out there, as I want to make sure I'm getting the right advice. Recently I did an Examiner article and considered pulling some quotes from TripAdvisor reviews but decided against it. I tend to be overly cautious where copyright is concerned. Today a fellow Examiner posted an article that is basically: "Here are reviews of an attraction:" followed by a copy/paste of full reviews from another website. I'm not sure which one because she didn't credit it. I reported it to my channel manager, but he said it's okay to do that because she was just copying reviews that people publically posted. Wouldn't that still be copyrighted (although by the individuals as opposed to the website)? And if so, isn't it still technically not allowed to repost it without permission? Or am I just overly paranoid?
