Stupid question, what's the legality or the "rules" on extracting pic + chunk of text from random websites? Are there any rules I presume there must be?

- vilpponen 16y agoThis is one of the reasons Readability links you back to the original article when you share document inside the service. It keeps a small overlay at the top which you can use to make the page more readable again. Slightly off topic: I've been playing around with an idea for a service that would be able to share content this way - would make reading a lot more fun again.
