U.S. copyright law and you

What's this about the AP cracking down on bloggers for excerpting from and linking to news stories? The practice is allowed under the "Fair Use" provisions of U.S. copyright law -- as long as you're only quoting a portion of an article for purposes of commenting on it (you can't just cut and paste the whole thing into a blog post). Mark Glaser has one of the better roundups of the issue(s) at Mediashift. Another great resource: the Stanford Center for Internet and Society's "Fair Use Project."

The AP leaps down the path to irrelevance.

This is an interesting article as well.

It's also a great idea to put a link to the author site, display a portion of the article, and also credit the source. None of that is defense against a copyright violation, but it shows the author that you are not attempting to claim the work as your own.
