Yes, just put the source of website.
The objective is not to rank in SE, or make money with that articles it is just to populate the website with usefull information (the articles that I will monetize will be written by me).
The articles will be interelly copied, but I don't want to violate any rights, so what I have to do is write in the end of all articles: Article copied from http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxx.com?

What the hell, it is NOT legal even if you link it to the source. You gurus should do some proper research before advising others.
You will need the permission from the original owner to use their content copied pasted in your website.
Your best bet is host ur website offshore, and do whatever you want.

Don't copy content, you'll just get marked as a plagiarizer. Black marks on your website are never good.
I know that the Articoolo article rewriter works pretty decently for me, rewriting 500 words in a couple of minutes, and then about 10 minutes or so of editing and proofreading on my part, and I never get hit with plagiarizing charges.

Spend 10-20 minutes to write a unique paragrafh for the article and a couple of setences at the end. E-mail the owner of the content and ask them if you can share their content and images (if you want) if they say yes put a link at the bottom of the article with the source of the article. Then you can ask them if they can share your site with their readers and win a backlink.

It actually depends. Some websites do allow "re-blogging" but they are few and far between. Something you could do, is copy the first few paragraphs of an article and then link to the source especially if they have an RSS feed with long enough excerpts, because you could easily claim that copying from the RSS feed is not copyright infringement because it is meant for public syndication. But you will have parts of articles, not full articles. Off shore hosting will probably be easier.

If you want to abide by the rules then you should ask for permission from the owners of the article and they will advise you on how to go about copying the content. Otherwise if you don't mind just spin/rewrite the articles and make sure they pass copyscape you will be safe.

It won't be totally legal unless you get a permission from the sites you get the content from. Some websites specifically mention that getting their content even with giving references are not accepted. This can create legal problems. Read their privacy policy if you want to keep yourself legally safe.

It is definitely not legal just because you link to the source. The real issue is whether any of the sources you take content from are going to find it or care enough to challenge you over it.
I would suspect that in most cases if the original source has an issue you will get a request to remove it or a warning over it before any legal issues arise, so I wouldn't stress too much over a lawsuit. It's always going to be easier for them to issue a cease and desist before taking expensive legal action.
However, it certainly is possible that some bigger guys might take more aggressive action - if they ever do come across it.

According to the DMCA Act, u put a link or put the name or resource whatever, if u do not get written permission from the respective author, it is illegal.

NOTE: The Copywriting & Sales Persuasion section is for questions and discussion around the topic of Copywriting - NOT Copyrighting. There is a difference. CopyWRITING is the art/science of writing words designed to entice people into buying your product or service, whereas, CopyRIGHTING is all about protecting ones intellectual property.
With the above-mentioned in mind, I am now closing this thread. I hope that I have clarified the difference between the two.
