What I ended up doing was snipping copied text to just three paragraphs
(out of 17), and adding a listadmin comment explaining that excision.
Now, technically, unless PCWorld Communications cries foul, I needn't do
squat: Implementing valid takedown requests is all the law requires.
(See front page of http://linuxmafia.com/ for details.) _However_, I
run a clean operation and don't wait for complaints if I saw something
very likely unlawful.
Also, more to the point, shoveling the entire article at everyone was
simply _unnecessary_: Ruben, you included the article's URL right at
the top. Anyone wanting to read all 17 paragraphs knows how to click a
link.
_You_ know how to limit copying to modest fair-use excerpts -- and I'm
very sure you know why, too.
You just didn't bother to do it right. Ruben, please do it right in the
future, OK?
