Yeah, you just have to be careful here because we’ve received complaints recently (not about you :-) from original news sources that complained even when the EzineArticles author clearly only used a ‘fair use’ amount of their news story for their article commentary.

If you’re only quoting a few sentences (like 1-4 at most), I’m sure this is no problem, but if you do a full disection of a news story, paragraph by paragraph, then article marketing/syndication is not the right venue for that but rather your personal blog would be best.

Even when you do everything right when it comes to observing fair use doctrine, people will still complain… which tell us that it’s best to be very conservative when syndicating article content that contains liberal fair use of other materials as the basis for your analysis.

Just some thoughts…

Thanks for the warning. While I have seen other commenters cutting and pasting segments of articles into their comments with quotes for specific reference, I don’t see why anyone would object to the practice. However, it does not apply to me in any event. I am only doing the same as I do here, adding my two cents worth. All I was saying is I am now referring comment readers to my own relevant content. If I can get them to read one essay, I might get them to read 2. :-)
