This is obviously absurd -- it would essentially eliminate printed debate ( after all why should an author give permission for the use of text by someone who disagrees with him). In fact, this sort of quote comes squarely in the domain of the "fair use" doctrine - upheld on frequent occasions in the context of reviews, editorials, etc. leon < the opinions expressed here may not belong to anyone including my employer....>
