So I had a thread locked because I posted the story in its entirety, which allegedly was in violation of "copyright laws", (and if in violation of forum rules than that is another argument) but the story came from a free source, Yahoo.com, and the NYT (which i do not subscribe to) allows news outlets like Yahoo to purchse its stories for reprint, or they may source them to Yahoo for free, in an attempt to gain a wider audience and more paying customers.
Since the link to the NYT written story was from Yahoo, a free source of news, versus the NYT, a paywalled subscriber only news source, how is it in violation of copyright law?
