I am sure you have heard of fair use, which many legal scholars believe covers the posting of whole articles for the purpose of discussion. If Mr Robinson had lots of money we would most assuredly have had the courts agree. At this time only articles covered by the consent decree and a few others that Mr Robinson has agreed to can't be posted in their entirety.

I read up some on copyright law (I recommend the sites which many colleges and universities maintain in order to allow their students to avoid infringment troubles) and I came to the conclusion that Free Republic is not entitled to a fair-use exemption.
