Yes, but log files show that there are not all that many inquiring minds about that actually click to read the rest of the article.
Just one of the many problems.
Fair enough, but fair use is fair use, at least in the US. I don't see how this argument is much different from arguing that using quotes in scholarly journals and books leads to declining sales of the quoted books and back issues of periodicals. You can't write with sources very effectively if you can't show people the parts of the sources that are relevant to the point you are making.
True, but you have to admit that with the Internet, this whole "quoting business" is taking on a whole other dimension.
"Fair use" is often not what I see ... it goes beyond that.
On a daily, sometimes hourly basis.
I don't think the laws were made for this new medium.
Cheers!
