Don't you have to submit paperwork and whatnot in order to copyright something? What is the difference to reading it on there site and reading the copied text here?  If the text is copyrighted then how can we even post links to the site, shouldn't the website link also be copyrighted? And finally, how are we supposed to talk about specific parts if we are not allowed to post it?

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

Simple....we don't refer to the articles....we just make it up....that's what the news folks do....

Actually no, you don't.  Copywrite registration is voluntary and just gives you more concrete legal standing with you work.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
