I would agree completely with the copyright issues, but there is one problem that is a failing of the companies on the internet. Many/most of them never archive their articles. Some of the links are invalid as quickly as 5 days. Others last 6 months or so. One of the values of Silicon investor is that I can read press releases copied to a message since day one. Granted, this does not make what I am doing right. I do try to make sure that I copy the source of the news article, which most cleverly put in the first line of the message. And I would always include the "By" line. But, it seems a terrible waste of potential that these companies don't see the value of archiving their work. Jim
