I am not Stephen, nor do I play a lawyer in my own mind.

Fair use may, or may not, permit quoting a paragraph of the
article, with a URL acting as a stand-in for the rest of the

claiming ownership of the intellectual property that is
the article.

Exactly where is the violation with copyright permissions?
