The Associated Press has copyrights to their articles, and it prohibits reproducing their work without permission. There is a thread we started about this in the official section, and although we have been lax on enforcing the rule here, we're about to get more serious about it.
A few sentences of their atricles with a link to the original is about all we are allowed to do without running afoul of the copyrights.
