The judge in question would ban all excerpting and linking, regardless of citation or medium of excerpt (text, screenshot, etc.).

And then he’s going to come for your scissors and glue pot.

-- [Posner] would ban all excerpting and linking --

And paraphrasing. That is a radical extension of copyright.

Posner is held out as nominally a conservative, FWIW. But in addition to being insane as to how far copyright ought to extend, he's VERY hostile to gun rights, and ought to be impeached on that basis alone.

SCOTUS in Presser v. Illinois: "... the states cannot, even laying the [second amendment] out of view, prohibit the people from keeping and bearing arms ..."

2nd Circuit, in Bach v Pataki: "Presser stands for the proposition that the right of the people to keep and bear arms, whatever else its nature, is a right only against the federal government, not against the states." cert. denied, 546 U.S. 1174 (2006)

7th Circuit (Posner): Anyone who doubts that Cruikshank, Presser, and Miller have "direct application in [this] case" need only read footnote 23 in Heller. It says that Presser and Miller "reaffirmed [Cruikshank’s holding] that the Second Amendment applies only to the Federal Government."

At any rate, if a judge or a law has to be written to ‘save’ an already dying media medium, then said media mediums are already doomed to inevitable death.

Besides, a law or ruling is completely unnecessary in an age of variable and dynamic url’s, etc.
