The subject article suggested that quoting an article
verbatim in order to reply to it was a violation of
applicable copyright laws. This is obviously absurd
-- it would essentially eliminate printed debate ( after
all why should an author give permission for the use of
text by someone who disagrees with him). In fact, this
sort of quote comes squarely in the domain of the "fair
use" doctrine - upheld on frequent occasions in the
context of reviews, editorials, etc.
