Subject: Posting newsclippings online as PDFs

Dave — for IP if you like:

I regularly save online news articles as PDF files, then post them on a website as newsclippings. This avoids the problem of articles disappearing on the original newspaper’s site down the line. But someone asked me the other day if this was legal and I didn’t have an answer. So far, I’ve come up blank looking for one online.

Anyone able to point me to statute or case history that might shed some light here?
