I marked it, thank you for pointing it out. --Rory096 03:00, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Actually if you check the edit history, you will find that the original source was a press release. I imagine a press release would be intended for copying and re-use. So this is not a case of a long standing copyright violation. The question is, is it a problem to use press releases in this way. -- Solipsist 07:26, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
