No, I don't think so. I think there's a difference between academia and the rest of the world.

You bring up a good point, though. Is it legal to post an entire article, as oppossed to a quote or quotes, even in an academic paper?

Again, not being a lawyer, I'm not sure of the answer -- only of my understanding of the situation.

The Copyright laws can be pretty confusing -- especially concerning fair use.
