I know there are legal considerations, but what happens is, the original story disappears, and things I have bookmarked to keep are only stuck with an excerpt.

Also, some people get TOO enthusiastic and excerpt everything.

You can always save the article on your computer instead of bookmarking.

It looks as though that might be a good idea, actually.

I'm not sure about the sites that don't allow us to post anything however - seems as though that would be harder to justify.

How is this being handled at other sites that post and discuss news? And are the publishers also complaining about those other sites?

"...and things I have bookmarked to keep are only stuck with an excerpt."

I just go to the original article when it initially appears, copy it in MS Word, name it and file it. I also make sure the original URL and all other pertinent info is on it.
