"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.

It might be a borderline copyright violation, but if SA were interested in constructive scientific debate, they would respond with a reply rather than a threat. They come across as looking as if they have something to hide, and their credibility is suspect as a result.
