Linking, Short Excerpts Draw AP DMCA Takedown Notices

Most sites love it when someone links to their story. As long as you only clip a short portion of the story, all you'll be doing, essentially, is driving traffic to the linked site.

You would think that "most" would include The Associated Press (AP), but apparently not.

This sort of thing would make what we do here: linking with short excerpts - illegal.

iirc as long as it's less than 10% of the content, then it's deemed as "fair use"
