The New York Times had a good story Sunday on blog sites reprinting large portions of copyrighted material. Copyright Holders Challenge Sites That Excerpt.
This could be a good article for students to read to understand more about what stealing copyright material is all about.
Taking a graf or two as the lead in to a blog posting followed by a link to the whole story seems to still be in bounds of the "fair use" doctrine.
Maybe we, as j-profs and models for future journalists, should be talking more about this.
