"the Bardstown Boaters by linking to content that belongs to The Kentucky Standard, a copyright violation, is simply not going to be allowed.   •   

 Its still not advertising however I will agree it could be copy write infringement. You should have stated that to begin with buddy. I am not an advertiser/spammer and never will be. I did not enjoy being claimed as such. Now a copyright infringer I tend to be, and I don't mind being called out on that one. 

 It is indeed advertising if a site is trying to grab views for itself using the original content of another source.  It's a combo advert/copyvio.  No question.   •   

 Apathy78: Its no question because its not Advertising. The Btown Boaters club is trying to help people who come to their site by providing information about the river and the current stat about the project. They are not a company or business. I don't know what they as an organization(nonprofit or what ever.). I find other parts of their site informative to knowing more about how rapids and water parks are built. I do admit that the btown boaters will always have a slant to information because the are advocates of the project to put a water park their. But at the same time, I would like to point out that it I can not find any people or groups who oppose the project in its current state(an idea)."
