I find this decision seriously concerning. Archive.is does essentially the same thing: Copypasta articles from other sites then re-serve them with monetisation (a donate link). Why is what they do ok but what american rennaisance does isn't?
Your comparison doesn't make sense.
Archive.is is clearly for archiving purpose.
They don't have publisher/author names linked to articles they did copy from other places. They don't mix them with ads.

What purpose do you claim AmRem is reposting those articles for?

I don't understand, would you prefer they didn't give credit?

Ads. Donation links. Potato tomato. Either way money has to come from somewhere to cover the bandwidth.

I'm saying that the copied articles are signed by the staffer of amren.

lol not at all. You are pulling at straws here.
A donation is not forced on you like ads are.

They link to the original article. I don't think anyone other than an idiot in a hurry would think they were claiming they wrote it.
Look, I get that you don't like their editorial policies, I'm fine with that. The issue is that you're taking this a step further and banning users from linking to them. That's taking things way too far.
