Though the recent meltwater news v newspaper licensing agency case suggests that even that (tom dalton's interpretation) may come under question if meltwater's appeal fails.
If I understand it correctly the decision says that not even headlines only constitutes 'fair use'. Meltwater sends new clips from the day to clients electronically, encouraging them to click on the original news story websites. This is a scary departure from what we all (me included) would believe to be true fair use. I'd like to think tom is correct but now I don't know he is. I hope I am wrong and he is.
