It's called the federal copyright law and if you don't like it just ignore the threads I start and kwitcherbellyakin.

FR observes the fair use doctrine, and other than sources subject to the LAT/WP settlement, is able to post articles in full. It's neat. It's fun. It's convenient.

You want to be a preening nuisance? Cool.

Why not at least put "(excerpt)" in your headlines, so that we know not to click on your threads?
