[[Image:Ambox_warning_yellow.svg|25px]] Here's what you keep doing. You highlight a bunch of text from Business Wire, copy it, paste it here, and make no substantial changes to the text. That's plagiarism whether or not the press release you're stealing from is copyrighted. I don't know if you can't or won't write your own prose but since the lawsuit information is important, you're damaging that article by using a tactic that will never work.

Perhaps you do not understand copyright infringement.... but your argument that something is plagiarized is nonsense, as reporting a press release is perfectly acceptable. Please show me where it is not acceptable to do so. |
