Hello-- One situation to consider is that it is not at all uncommon for a writer or a newspaper to find one of its articles reprinted, without permission or compensation, in other newspapers. This is an old problem and predates the existence of listservs. I will bet that this is at the root of the Chicago paper's over-sensitivity about republication of portions of its articles, which I will also bet is perfectly legal. But as has been said, who wants to spend the money on courts and lawyers? Perhaps there might be a way to ask permission to post from these sources, especially since so many of these online articles vanish in a very short time. Or, perhaps these sources might be prevailed upon to put up their own, longer-lived Web sites for articles in certain areas.
