Well technically, of course, this is exactly what plagiarism is - when you post/write/publish something under your own name (in this case your user name) and don't cite your source or even mention that there is a source. You don't have to state "this is mine" in order to plagiarise. You only have to fail to state that it's someone else's work. Any student can tell you that.

Here endeth the lesson :)

u r overthinking. however it is definitely amusing tho that the source is more interesting to people than the content and yes I do have media contacts (well done to whomever figured that out) and sometimes get a headup

Forums like this care though, to avoid getting nasty cease and desist letters and demands for cash. It happens.

Not really “rocket science” when you post your parents were approved for a I visa…

and and source and timing are very important when you work in finance. In this example you may see a bump in airline stocks based on news like this.

I suspect we are not intrigued.

Nothing to do with copyright though as long as you cite your sources.

I have not lived in Dublin for over 10 years now… but I feel for you. I had to take a Aer Lingus flight once because I could only get a EWR-SNN last minute, that was a 30-40 min flight, can’t imagine what ist like if you have to take it all the way over the Atlantic…
