Thank you, McWebber, for pointing out that I did indeed violate
copyright
law. For some reason, I thought I could post an entire copyrighted
article
as long as I gave credit to the author and its source, but after
researching
fair use guidelines, I now realize that I was seriously in
violation of
copyright law and should not have posted that article here.

Rather than make that mistake again, I will make sure that I will
now post
links only to copyrighted works, and if I post an excerpt, then I
will make
sure that the excerpt meets all fair use guidelines.

My apologies to Mr. Pinkerton and to Newsday, Inc.



Oh give me a break.
Next business will be copywriting their addresses and phone numbers
and
you guys will be getting tremulous and guilty about mentioning them.

That's right, Leonard. A copyrighted column that is the intellectual
product of one person's writing is the same thing as an address and
phone number. Sheer genius.


That was a "reductio ad absurdem", dickhead.

As for quoting published articles in newsgroups, there's always been a
"fair use" exception to copyright that fits the practice.

Which does not allow for posting of the entire article. Only excerpts.
