TR, nmap, anybody...have a bottom line analysis on this? I had thought that a few paragraphs with a "CLIP" and then the link to an article is generally considered "fair use". So which is it? The whole article is "fair use" or a few paragraphs. Or is the jury still out on this one.

Reminds me a bit of the ADA lawsuit industry particularly in California. What was meant to be laws helpful to disabled people, soon became an "ATM" machine for unscrupulous lawyers and others who would sue a small business for the smallest infractions such as an approach ramp not at just the right angle, a counter top a bit too high etc. The "scammers" would go in, case the joint and set the whole thing up. The businesses typically settle out of court for a few thousand that the California law stipulated and would typically make an agreement that they would rectify the "issue".

Another example of "Good Idea Fairy" gone amuck. I'm not against sensible laws to help the disabled - many of our brethren are. But the greedy vindictive Libs screw it up for everyone. Out of both sides of their mouths.
