FR didn't get very far with that defense. Maybe it'll get to another circuit court of appeals and yield a different ruling.

There are differences. For one, FR was posting whole articles. This negated the need for people to visit their web sites and they potentially lost revenue. Another was O'Reilly was attacking the individual, and he should have some right to defend himself, although that is not specifically called out in the fair use doctrine.

You're right. You said it boiled 'their' blood pressure and I read it that it boiled 'your' blood pressure.

My mistake.
