Same goes for other newspaper articles, by the way. It's bad enough you are doing it at all, but in a Legal Issues forum no less....
lawpal said:I think you are incorrect. I did post the entire article, but at the same time I gave full attribution to the source, and posted a link to the source as well.

lawpal said:"...The campaign didn't discover Dinoia's page until last year, when a staffer was cruising around in search of domain names for another site..."
lawpal said:I still disagree with you. The four fundamental questions of fair use are as follows:
What is the character of the use?
What is the nature of the work to be used?
How much of the work will you use?
What effect would this use have on the market for the original or for permissions if the use were widespread?
lawpal said:If the village voice wanted to make a fuss over this, that is their choice, but I suspect that to be highly unlikely.
