Copying an article or image to a file on your own computer for your own personal use is okay. Reproducing an article or image without permission from and/or compensation to the original publisher is against the law.

I frequently have to remind users and operators of websites that it is okay to link to articles and images published by myself and my colleagues at FastNews, but cutting and pasting them to another medium is not. The companies we work for, SummitRacing, NHRA, IHRA and National Dragster, all pay good money for our information, and in every sense of the word, they own it.

Do dat 'splain it?
