How much edit is enough for getting around copywrite.

Yeah, I tried searching on Google, but can't understand, they don't say it straight.

Anyways, It's ETE.

I was thinking of starting viral news website.
Get traffic from different common Social sources.

To reduce the burden, I just wanted to copy paste from other news site (like mashable). Maybe just edit few sentences in the article and keep the same.
I'm scared of being fucked by copywrite and stuff.

NO SEO NEEDED.

I also wanted to know about photo copywrite, is little changes is enough?

OR I SHOULD JUST GET OFFSHORE HOSYING AND DO WHATEVER I WANT?

Any help or tip is appreciated as fuck.
Thank you.

So read up on Copyright and Plagiarism, also Content Curation and DMCA.
To avoid copyright problems then the work needs to be substantially different to the original.
You can still use some work under Fair Use exemptions and you can post others work if you link back to them.

AFAIK there are no copyright lawyers on BHW so you will need to do the research yourself.

If you don't care then offshore bulletproof hosting is the answer.
