I don't get this at all, maybe it's my own ignorance. But how can you "copyright" news and events? If something happens, say with the 9/11 Hearings, and we want to talk about it- how is that violating copyright laws? If it's the linking of articles- what about sites like Drudge, which is about 95% ALL links to other sources? If it's that- how can you copyright a link? I just don't get it.

I think they are saying that linking is good, but cutting and pasting whole articles is bad. We can continue to link to anything we want to link to.
