The copyright trolls like Righthaven are also going after excerpts AND images. This isn't about protecting the rights of authors and publishers, but rather is akin to ambulance-chasing. Righthaven buys up rights to content for the specific purpose of filing suit against unauthorized users. They target smaller venues and users who are more likely to settle for a few thousand dollars
than fight in court.

Google 'righthaven copyright lawsuit'

Here's a post that gives some defensive strategies:

Hard to get a copyright infringement conviction when it is common practice across most discussion lists. It's generally a violation when money is made off it, i.e., the source loses revenue or you make money.

I do agree including the link is a must.

Guess we will have to go with excerpts...
