Assault On Free Speech

[Autumnlicious]

...uh, not every quotation needs to have permission. If you, say, admit to a crime, I can report that to the cops. It doesn't seem like you know the extent of intellectual property law (or privacy law, which might be applicable). Have you heard of the fair use doctrine?

If you bothered to read her post, you'll see that she specified no condition that would mean all, none or some of what the topic was. In this case, it is `words' (as corresponding to what an author may write) and as such, you'll notice she did not specify the length of a potential length of text that would constitute infringement.

She intentionally left that underspecified.

And actually, depending on the length and usage of what you're quoting/using/etc, you can easily transition from fair use into infringement.
