Copyvio?

edit

I noticed that the headline of this (synthesis) article and one of its sources are the same (Reuters source). Could anyone please clarify if this is a copyvio? Thanks, ~YTT • (talk) 08:44, 18 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • Well... it's such a simple, formulaic title that I question the eligibility of it for copyright. That, however, is getting somewhat involved. I'm not going to say it, and I'm certainly not going to spend vast amounts of time learning Florida/US federal (Wikinews host server jurisdiction) and Scottish/UK (my local jurisdiction) copyright statute and precedent to make an informed comment on that.

  • IIRC from discussion with Eddan Katz of the EFF, the 'hot button' is to Google for something like "Hot news appropriation", and look at the article I wrote about AP menacing bloggers. Anyway, in this case you want both names, one for the art community, one for musicians - better GNews placing. ;-) --Brian McNeil / talk 13:16, 19 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
