    Why would that matter?

    I could totally start a website, maybe call it “New York Stories”, read every single NYT article and then (working off my own memory, not copy/pasting the text) write the same story again and publish it. That would not be copyright infringement. In fact the NYT themselves do it all the time, publishing things that were originally reported elsewhere.
