If the list is copied and pasted, and if it is from a copyrighted article, it is a violation of the TOS and the copyright laws as well.
The chance of the "copyright police" looking here are pretty slim (as in almost non-existant), but it would be better to post a link.
That's really true of anything protected under the copyright laws.
The following is a post from the board administrator:
"Do not post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or you have permission from the copyright owner. This has been part of the site rules since these forums were started.
If you are posting a news article it is fine to post an excerpt/summary along with a link to the full article on the news publication's website."
In reality, most of us have broken that rule/law, but we really shouldn't.
