He pointed out that he feels it's permissable to use a short quote and then provide a link to the full article.
John has also pointed this out in other open threads. Many of us (moderators and myself included) have been guilty of breaking this part of the TOS, and probably the Copyright laws as well.
I have stopped.

Given that I started this crusade a long time ago against ztnke, I'd like John to specifically address what length is acceptable (one line, 200 words, 3 paragraphs, specific quote) and what international law permits that decision.
Also he should address why he hasn't deleted the many, many threads with the articles in them. Forums act as storage and are not one-time events. Furthermore, does he feel that the News and Politics forum is conducive to following this rule and not breaking the law?
