(See the Wikipedia article on "Fair Use" for a fairly thorough discussion of the topic). Marcus' actions seem not to qualify as fair use, as there seems to be no purpose for reprinting entire articles with no additional commentary. Also, the extent of his "excerpting" (if one an excerpt an entire work) seems excessive for the purpose of directing his readers to an article he liked.<br /><br />Your preference for linking to entire articles and maybe quoting a small, particularly relevant portion in your blog is easily the better--and more legally defensible--approach.Grange95https://www.blogger.com/profile/01857460215043659894noreply@blogger.com
