The test of "fair use" is a matter for the court to decide, should an author wish to file a (frivolous) lawsuit for posting on a discussion forum. |

There is no way that copying an entire article from a commercial source onto a public discussion board can be construed as passing the "fair use" test. It would be sufficient for the purpose of discussion to summarize the article and/or quote just a couple of paragraphs, followed by a link to the article on the Washington Post's site for those who want to read the full text. Quoting the entire article therefore fails point 3; and failing to provide a link violates point 4, in that it deprives the copyright owner of revenue (i.e., advertising revenue from his own Web site).
From Wikipedia: L.A. Times v. Free Republic is a 1998 United States district court copyright law case. Several newspapers sued the Internet forum Free Republic for allowing its users to repost the full text of copyrighted newspaper articles, asserting that this constituted copyright infringement. Free Republic claimed that they were not liable under the doctrine of fair use and the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech. The federal courts ruled in favor of the newspapers. It's worth noting that one of the litigants in the above case was the Washington Post, who also happen to be the copyright owners for the article in question. |

"Fair Use"
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include - (1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and (4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors. |

Sorry, but I have to say this:
It's not Nazeerjw's story. You should be asking Yvonne Ridley and/or the Washington Post for permission. The story is protected by copyright and should never have been posted on this site to begin with. Posting small excerpts of copyrighted material is generally regarded as "fair use" for educational and discussion purposes, but even in that case attribution (e.g., a link to the original source) should be provided. Reproducing virtually the entire article is flat-out illegal, as well as being disrespectful to the original author. Yes, I know it is commonly done on discussion forums, but it is still wrong. |
