Several of us, myself included, have in the past occasionally posted links from a variety of sources and sometimes included excerpts. Given that one member has been posting a very large number of articles with a very high frequency from the New York Times, I wanted to point out to any involved, especially the Admin, that there are potential copyright issues. Given the quantity, the Times could assert such copying exceeds any reasonable fair use standard. Unless the member involved can show the Admin, either publicly or privately, that he has specific permission, the Admin might consider the New York Times policy:
