THe point is that its a copyright violation and beleive it or not, companies do sue over this. I like anandtech.com and do not want to see them embroiled in copyright litigation. There is a reason all of the tech news that comes in on this site is linked to and not quoted directly. That reason is copyright law and people who sue for the unauthorized reproduction of freely available material!
this is directly from the terms and consditions of the new scientist website:
