"Lomborg's response was to publish the text of the Scientific American article on his own website and to intersperse it with a detailed response to every point raised by his critics. Scientific American then threatened to sue Lomborg over copyright." I think that says it all really. It is NOT acceptable to post an entire article on a website, no matter WHO does it if you don't have the appropriate permissions. Period.
