Hello Tom.

First of all I am sorry for my mistake. I tought this is OK to copy and paste 100% of this copyrighted text because I found this text in several websites. the source of this text is from "Partner Communications Company" reports to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. the reports are publicly which means evreyone can read them (and copy? I dont know). so I tought its ok to use them also in wikipedia. Sorry and I will not repeat that again. (by the way, in the google search link add " in the end and in the begingg of the text) Natkon91 (talk) 16:45, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Natkon91: Yeah, it looks like syndicated content about companies and businesspeople that's used by a lot of sites. But they probably pay—or have some kind of arrangement—to use that data. Wikipedia needs an explicit license grant to use that kind of material. —Tom Morris (talk) 17:21, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
