Can I ask a question?

I read Drudge a couple times a week, and I notice that HE NEVER EXCERPTS .. why? What's the difference. Does he have permission to print the whole article?

Most of his stuff is linked to the actual article, no copyright infringement, and what he doesn't excerpt, is his own writing, gleaning excerpts from articles, much like the media would do with say an AP story, like quotes and such.

Drudge never excerpts because he only links (except for his own articles). We also can continue to link. What we can't do is cut and paste whole articles.
