Publishers, guided by the attributor.com enforcement company will be starting some level of legal campaign against sites that pirate their media and violate their copyright. Essentially they don't want people taking the contents of entire news articles and putting them on other sites.

They are not seeking past damages. they just want infringing sites to either stop using the material, or pay licensing fees for it.

I'm curious if any of the publishers in the attributor coalition don't offer licensing fees, or if this is just a strong arm advertising campaign for publishers that do.

Either way, remember to be vigilant when writing article summaries to links that you don't accidentally copy it verbatim.
