I'm sure there is. I once found boards dedicated to electric razors.

The question is, did you summarize the news and post a link to IGN's story, or did you copy their story verbatim?

If the former, you're okay. As you say, no exclusivity on commentary.

If the latter, you've stolen their copy. That's plagiarism and copyright infringement.

Well, technically, I copied their story verbatim... which was simply the 2K Games press release.

Is it copyright infringement if I re-publish a press release?

And is it infringement if I credit the source? I never tried to pass it off as my own work...

I am confused. Are you saying that the ads are only here because people want them here? Is it an option for some people? Is there a way to turn them off that I don't know of?

I for one would love to remove all the ads and redirects at this site. The ads here are just getting rediculous. I have full motion video at the top of my screen trying to load. If I move my mouse over the ad it blows up. I also have ads now floating across my screen at this site. And on top off all that crap, I also keep getting redirected to another full page ad.

Are you now telling me that these ads are all my choice? If it is by choice, please for the love of god tell me how to turn these things off.

The ads here in FOFC are because this is a free hosting service provided by gamespy so in exchange they display the ads. Sportdigs uses paid hosting so of course there are no ads but it cost money to maintain while FOFC is free.
