Website with summarized news
Question
Hello, is it halachically permitted to perform ‘scraping’ of websites?
I want to collect information from several news sites every day and make it accessible via a phone line, so that people can call and listen to the news.
It is important to note that I will not publish the exact text on the line, but only a summary of the articles.
In addition, if such an automatic operation is not permitted, may I copy and paste the articles manually?

Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
It is permitted to do so.
