Yep! I know squat about law either. I would think this would be similar to making a personal copy of a cd and then lending it to a friend to listen to. Its a grey area but it usually falls under personal use. Does it not? You aren't gaining any thing by copying and pasting an article for us to read on this list. It helps most of us by not having to click on a bunch of links and use up even more data to read the same article.
The only negative that I can imagine against us is the missed advertising potential for the website due to the lack of clicks by most on this list. I argue against this with my own experience. I'm on a limited data plan. I get 2GB each month. I'm picky about the links I click on or the audio/video stuff I download or use. I'm not a lawyer, so I would be curious to hear from one.
