Is that even a sentence? It's painful to have to read stuff like that 2 or 3 times to figure out what the author is trying to say. Videos are fun, but if they come at the expense of some basic proofing and editing, then something's wrong. Don't worry about anyone scraping this post. “But never using content from another site as the only content in a post.”

No. But getting sued is bad PR and the media loves it, so there's always a likely possibility that they'll settle. Beating?

Links to the original source are much more important than a home page link, because it allows search engines to determine the original source, though that can take a bit of time, and is far from perfect. A credit link just to a home page is bad both from a user and SEO perspective A deep link a reader wil follow to get more about the story, and in most cases can then be guided to more relevant content, which the NYTimes or affiliate sites don't provide.
