Question About Legality of Posting Articles
Are we allowed to post articles from magazines or would that be breaking some kind of copyright law?

The magazines don't like it, and yes, it's probably a breach of copyright (though it might just be allowed to copy a single article from a magazine under fair use of copyright for personal use).
Essentially, you're welcome to post quotations, but reprinting the whole article is a no-no. |

I'd say aprox. 3 years.

How old is the article?
To me, "really old" means nostalgia type stuff... articles from old InterAction magazines, things like that. Any article on a recent game is probably not a good idea to scan, though. |

Way too recent.
I'd say it's okay to type up a (brief) excerpt, as long as the magazine is credited, but that's about it. I take it the article isn't already available online? |

If you find Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski interviewing Double Fine Productions' Tim Schafer interesting, then yes.
