And generally you are right in saying that as long only a couple paragraphs are used and a link back to the original site is given then usually most companies don't mind. The problem lately has been that some people on DU have posted several excerpts that come from different parts of the original story. By doing this DU ends up providing all of the useful info from the original story. Then the site that actually created the story never gets visited and there advertisements never get looked at and then their overall traffic becomes less making it harder for them to charge the same rates to their advertisers because they have less traffic.

It can become a snowball effect.
