Can you point me to some discussion about this?  The link to the Arbcom
decision doesn't seem to discuss this point much at all.  The link to
the Wikipedia:COPYRIGHT policy doesn't seem to apply, since it says that
you shouldn't link to an external site with a copy of a work if you 
*know*
that it's violating copyright (i.e. the default is to assume that the 
link
is okay and you need a specific reason to exclude it.)>>

Gosh I think it was a few *years* ago that it was pointed out on the 
Talk page of the Matt Sanchez article, that the audio snippet of the 
Alan Colmes radio program had been uploaded with permission.  In fact 
that clip still exists online, I just ran into it the other day yet 
again.

But Ken I stopped following the back-and-forth on Matt Sanchez from the 
time it degenerated into "Theatre of the Ridiculous".  The audio 
snippet (I think its about six minutes or so) is linked however from my 
own write-up which I linked in my past mesage.
