I've seem some good articles on the net around the place I would like to reuse in the Australian DX News. And, I've always asked for permission to use it before I have.

I think there needs to be a differentiation between articles and news - at least here in Australia news items are fair game between stations, nobody can own a new item (unless of course it is something involving large money like the Olympics).
