Copyright infringement

By an amazing co-incidence, the material about Faisal in this article contains an identical selection of quotes as [1]. Choice of this many quotes from a single interview involves a creative act and is therefore copyrightable. Material removed as a possible copyright infringement. Martin 22:58, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Absolutely false. This article contains nowhere near enough material to count as a copyright violation. This issue has been discussed before. Our limited quoting is well within US Copyright fair use allowances. In fact, for non-profit works, we have considerable more leeway than for-profit works. Again, you are censoring quotes for political purposes. As discussed above, your censorship is not acceptable. RK 14:38, Jan 11, 2004 (UTC)

Selection of quotes is copyrightable. The GFDL means that content has to be free for all our sub-licensees, not just us. However, we can simply link to that article, which is what I've done. Martin 15:00, 11 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I've just added a brief summary of the externally linked article to this one, which I believe works well. Martin 23:32, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
