While I don't know the specifics and it's going to vary from nation to nation, as far as I am aware, RN7 has violated no copyright/IP laws by posting the information in the manner he did.
Copying parts of an article is "generally" acceptable as long as it doesn't exceed a certain percentage but because he relayed parts of the article but in his own words, even this is not a particular concern.

Again, this is as far as I understand it, copyright laws protect the way an idea was expressed, presented or executed. The idea itself is not subject to copyright protection. So I believe that in RN7's case, there has no reprinting/copying or plagiarism so there has been no particular violation of copyright/IP.
