the new playstion firmware will allow you to do many new things like
• Play games at 2x speed
• Make coffee
• Drink coffee
• Make other consoles explode

Yeah, it's when you copy peoples writing, that's the issue.
In your example, that's just repeating a known set of fact, you're not infringing on anyones actual work.

If you really can't be bothered writing the article, PM one of the news team (either myself or Gaetano) with your source link and we'll follow it up. Simple.

I don't see a problem with the new news rules. After all, if someone really wants to share some news with us, then surely they can take a few minutes longer to make an effort?
Just like with the guides and reviews. Make an effort, even if the source article is only small.

This is a really good point, we're not saying write epic novels, if it's a short topic than write a short article.

Two different news stories, so why would they needed to be posted in the same news article?

Because they are about one event. They could have been posted in one story to limit the amount of news thats uploaded to the site

We have had this no copy policy on MyDS for months now, we wanted the site to start having original content, but now it's official.

How would you guys feel if you wrote a review and someone from another site just copied and pasted it, and all you get as recognition is a little hyper link at the bottom of the article, I don't know about you guys but I would be pretty pissed that my work has ventured across to another site without my permission.
How hard is it show others the same courtesy, rewrite the article into your own words, if you want you can a little further and get more information from multiple sources and improve the article even more.
I wouldn't be sooking about having to do more work, I would be using this opportunity to show of my writing and reporting skills and who knows you might get noticed for it.
No one will be impressed by a person that has a creative limit of Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V anyone can do that.

lol, you gotta love the almighty Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, though

but yeah...if you wrote a massive 3,000 word review one something, you wouldn't want someone to copy and paste that somewhere else, would you.
