The FAIR USAGE clause seems to have taken a bad hit. In fact, it may have been gutted. Freedom was indeed defeated with this case, sad to say.

I agree. The original summary judgement stays on the pages of the law books and wasn't overturned. It set a precedent, and others can now come after FR for the same reasons and demand the same thing: No full article posting.

No it wasn't. You can always open a website and post the full text of LAT/WP articles yourself. Then, when they sue you, you can have the privilege and honor of taking it all the way to the Supreme Court to try and convince them to overturn a century or more of bad case law. Perhaps you can succeed where I failed. If at first you don't succeed, try again.
Thanks,
Jim
