Bitcoin Forum

There are many sites on Bitcoin news on the internet and everyone follows them. Does receiving news from these news sites cause copyright.  ???

If you are directly copying the content then you will get copyright notification. If you do not copy and create your own content with a reference from where you got the news then you will not fall in any trouble.

Cite your source. ALWAYS. That should prevent any copyright issues. Also I don't really understand what you mean by "receiving news" since if it's just plainly reading, there's no issue with it, reposting? As I said, cite the source before you do to avoid issues, if you were to paraphrase, still post the source just to make sure. Just don't claim any articles not from you. Ofc, if you want to create you're own article about the news, afaik that isn't really copyright, since it is "technically" written by you.

So I can get the news, but if I publish it after commenting with my own writing style, it's okay.This is how I understood, is it true?

Depends.

At minimum you'll have to cite the source.

Strictly speaking, copy / pasting major parts or even a whole article without permission from the rights holder could still be a breach of copyright even while linking the source. Google "Fair Use" in relation to copyright to see what's okay to do without permission from the original author and what isn't.

What do you mean by "penalty for copyright"?Do you think that somebody is going to sue you for plagiarism?
I don't think that you will get sued for copy pasting other people's news articles,however I don't recommend such activity.If you plan to create a crypto news website and most of your articles are simply copy pasted from somewhere else,Google is going to ban your website for duplicate content and you won't be able to rank on search engines.

Better cite the source. Because if it is not your original idea or concept and just borrowing from someone else's, you need to acknowledge where you get it from. Citing your source is one option not to accuse of having plagiarized content. Because even if you paraphrase the statement, still you don't own that idea.

Ah, let me paraphrase:

Always cite the source, but be it depends on whether your quote falls under fair use whether you are in breach of copyright. That is, citing the source is not a free pass for copy / pasting content.

Now here on these forums, in practice, you should be fine with merely citing the source (not citing the source will get you permanently banned).

When posting someone elses content on a blog of your own, or for example as part of an article you write for another news outlet, citing the source may not be enough.

Yes but the last time I checked the copyright are mostly used by the US crypto related site but to be totally sure I think it will be better to check the copyright viewpoint of site to avoid future complication or you can use site that it content is available "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License" which people are free to share,copy etc. However, this forum dont support copy and paste.

Did you mean subscribing to their newsletter? I don't think it would cause any copyright issues unless you co-pas and republish the news without embed the original source.

Cite the part that you want to comment and don't forget to embed the original source as well. For example: based report on Cointelegraph  (https://cointelegraph.com/)"bla bla bla" then put your opinion here or you can put your opinion in front of the paragraph

You’ve currently got at least one post that is plagiarized by forum standards, whereby intent is shown by changing a wee part of the text, meaning there is no wiggle room to claim that you forgot to quote the source. You’ve probably got a few minutes to make amends, before it crops-up on the mod’s queue of reported posts.

Plagiarism on this forum implies that you will be banned (and all the accounts you may have), and you will not be allowed to create any more accounts here (only to appeal on Meta, with slim to no chances).

Even performing a copy/paste and adding the source is generally considered a cero value post if reported.

Edit: OP's name is similar to a well known (banned) forum member, although clearly not him

You should not copy the news, you should publish the news in the form of an article, not copy the text of the news and publish it here.

Would I have any difficulties if I had set my source to https://cointelegraph.com/ and changed the article and posted on my site?

[TIPS] to avoid plagiarism (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5133485.msg50666258#msg50666258).

You can copy and paste any article if you want to with source link. you will be fine but there is a big problem that will make your post or topic looks annoying. Copy and paste link to article simply with the intention to get post quota, without any personal comment or idea. Your posts can be compared to shitposts.

You are here to discuss about bitcoin and other crypto but if your post does not serve this function, it makes no sense.  :)

I have not seen any plagiarism because of use images without source link with my time here but you should always leave link to avoid any trouble
Guideline on posting images (with size adjustments), hyperlinks (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3974517.msg37748469#msg37748469)

Starting a website with news is hard because the rules are often crazy. Many websites have their own requirements such as adding a hyperlink in and writing about them in the first paragraph of the article (this applies additionally to not copying the info, of course). Some are against people using their info without their permission at all! Unfortunately, it seems that Cointelegraph is one of those strict websites. According to their rules,
That being said, I'm sure many websites actually ignore this, rewrite their news and post as their own (sometimes giving the link and sometimes pretending like it's their own content). And I don't think that Cointelegraph would actually enforce that rule on the copyright infringement or otherwise there would not be all these low-level crypto news websites. But I'm no expert on the topic, so you should be careful and do your research.

I suppose you want to make use of already posted news? the answer is yes or no. Yes, you can be charged for copyright infringement is you plagiarized content. Most of the news sites you mentioned copy from a particular source and rewrite it to suit their own narrative with the proper citing of the source. So if you are going to use the same news, you need to rewrite it in your words and cite also the source. You can harmonize different sources together to make a full article

If they just fully copy paste the article or news, it was plagriarism. And they may violate the rules without inciting the source and can be possibly penalized from it.
 The website should be reported as being plagriarized content then the content will be removed and there is corresponding penalties if the bitcoin site news has proven to break the rules.
 
 If it is about the bitcoin news, I usually saw some websites with the same content but those of course has some source to begin with. Or quoting some of important facts and they are making a comments about it. That's what I have noticed.

Punishment will come, but if they do not state the source. If a site is not allowed to report but they still report and distribute fake news, what do we do?
Can we sue them?

Maybe in my opinion, receiving or just seeing the news will not be a problem at all, but if you copy and intend to make the same news as what you saw before, then all of that will cause copyright on the news. So if you want to repeat this news it is better to add a few verses so that it is not the same as the news you have seen about Bitcoin, maybe that way I am sure it will not be subject to copyright from this news site.

You just have to state somewhere that the article is not yours and the name and maybe even website of the writer. If you looking to do SEO just be aware that Google doesn't like identical content.
There are online internet laws protecting writers from having their work stolen. If you give us the names of some of the sites then we could look for ourselves and give you a more indepth answer.

It is better not to make something like copy paste, because there were lots of examples when Google reacted and as a result it was not so pleasant for those who done this. Even nowadays you can find lots of Internet recourses, where articles are just copied and republished sometimes even without paraphrasing. Even funny from one side to see the same news on different sites))) because we all know that lits of news sites find the main original resource where the article is published and just republish it on their own recourse like this is their own journalist's or the blogger's job. But I would not recommend you to do so. It is better to catch the main idea and create your own article, it will prevent you and your site from some problems and even make your rating higher))

I guess that every article, news or similar stuff that has an author and it's published in public has copy rights. So, web site with Bitcoin news is not an exemption and if any such content is copied from somewhere it might be subject of intellectual property violation. So, it's always better to name the source.

Well said!

If someone do tend to copy or do make out some repost getting from other source then its always advisable to post up links on where you do get those news and you wont be surely experiencing about those issues or whatsoever.

Im indeed being confused on what he meant about receiving news which I do presume that he particularly talks about getting news from other source.@OP, just follow up this advise and
don't bother about copyright issues.

I guess you need to utilize effectively posted news? the appropriate response is yes or no. Indeed, you can be charged for copyright encroachment on the off chance that you copied content. A large portion of the news destinations you referenced duplicate from a specific source and change it to suit their own account with the best possible referring to the source. So on the off chance that you will utilize similar news, you have to modify it in your words and refer to likewise the source. You can fit various sources together to make a full article
