I think it was the early days of this list (though I may be thinking of another) when it was fairly common to paste fair use (liberally interpreted) excerpts of articles in posts. I still do that on occasion, for reasons other than avoiding a paywall. I think that is justifiable, for a specialized and small list, with relatively few excerpts from protected material. But I would submit to the judgement of those who know better.
