Is it OK to put the recap of a season in the season's summary or not?

Could this one be considered as the seasons summary or mustn't it have spoilers in the seasons summary?

I thinki a season summary will always have spoilers, but I am not sure if we can just copy a complete recap from another source tho :)

Even if you could, what would be the purpose of having exactly the same text ? You all will be ignored by the search engines. And american official summaries are protected by copyright law so that would be a no but i'm not entirely sure how fare use would enter into consideration.

Indeed, copying a recap from the official site is not allowed. Will clarify this in the upcoming policy.

Sh*t, than I just added recaps for 4 seasons (season 4 - 7) of Mad Man illegally :S

I allways added "Source: AMC.com" at the end of the recap tho.

Do I have to delete them or...?

Network recaps don't seem to fall under the site's copyright policy:

In practice

this means that we only allow content that..

has been released under a license that permits redistribution, such as CC-BY
