last comment I will make on the matter - but theft is theft, because
someone else does it does not change the law... nor does the media that
you use.. the Internet still operates within the laws of the country
where you conduct business.

This is the Internet mate, the site owners of the sites I'm to be
scraping use the same methods. If I was to cite that site it would be
wrong anyway because they don't even own all the content.
If there is a financial gain, why sit back and let someone else gain
from it? I know a guy that does the same with a lyrics site and makes
roughly £14,000 a year in Adsense. It has to be done.

Yes I don't think this is the place to ask advise on illegal
matters. Scraping content from websites that you do not have
permission from is copyright infringement. The fact that you don't
want to cite the original source inidcates to me that you are
building this site for some financial gain - whether that is to
get exposure, advertising revenue or other means.
Respect the content owners, ask for their permission to use the
content!!

Thanks for the heads up guys. I know how to use
blockquote, that's not an issue, but I'm wondering if
using cite would be worth it.
I won't be storing the URL from the original page. If I
did citing the orig. page that could get me into a while
lot of trouble if I am mirroring/scraping/*stealing*
quotes from certain sites. Hence why I do not want to cite
the original site.
I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Are you saying that
your are infringing on copyright and are worried that citing
the source will get you caught? If so, you're trying to solve
the wrong problem and should be seeking to license the content
or otherwise use it within the constraints of the law.
