Thanks for bringing my attention to this. I once considered linking the original article. But I also realised that, with the exception of “Free Stories” and perhaps “ST Forum”, most of the links return a log-in page since most of the articles on Straits Times are accessible only via subscript (payment subscription, that is, as opposed to RSS =) ).

Of course, paid subscribers will be able to view the articles, so it’s quite a dilemma. Copying and pasting the entire article also has repercussions in IP issues, which I once wrote to the STI about. But their mailbox was either full or the address was invalid. Admittingly, it’s a Pandora’s Box that I am a little afraid to open. If need be, there will be a mass edit to either cut down the article to the point in case or to remove them totally.

I’m not sure if what I am doing is right, but I would like to hear your views.

Cheers.
