You are in major copyright violations. You can't just copy and paste copyrighted material onto your website.

How do you know he has done this?

I just looked and hey may have written all of the articles I looked at?

Just curious what made you say he was pulling others writing?

Or was it something else you were talking about?

well.... If you google parts of the texts, you will find everything's original somewhere and you will see that it's just copied and pasted.
look here:
copy and original.

I agree, that this might harm some copyright laws. I don't know if a link back may help
(like "found at zdnet.com" )

No your right.. i wasn't trying to to come off like it was mine... many of the articles has the authors name and some have a "source" link... but then again, some don't either...

I will be starting to put the "source" to each site i copy from. btw, some are mine, but few....

And btw.. I don't think that is copy writing becasue if you google the title subjects.. you see the same article on many sites...

Those articles you see on "many" sites are syndicated. Meaning that the publisher has permission from the author to publish the content. For example, if you want to publish a complete Reuters news story, you have to pay Reuters for that privledge. You put yourself into legal jeopardy when you steal content. Under the "fair use" act, you may quote from an article, not steal it.

Thanks for your replies, I really had no idea....

I see on a lot of news sites that some is quoted, would I be able to quote the whole article? if not, how much would i be able to quote?

Thanks,
Adam

That depends on the source. Read the policy from where you copy it from.
This is from the zdnet policy:

Most of the times this is the case, you can use it but you should put something that it is not yours.
Just like a MIT license really.
