I agree that making multiple copies of an entire book to avoid buying
the book would be a violation, however reproducing an article in a
newspaper/magazine is subject to the academic exemption. That
particular exemption is rather liberally applied.

....except that it's really not. Most schools have very strict codes
about what can and cannot be used, and how liberal that use is. Some
successful lawsuits by publishers put an end to that at most schools.

And, once again, making a few copies of one article from the Times for
your Business 101 class is very different from publishing the entire
article over the Internet, for thousands of readers who are *not*
enrolled in any classes, formally or otherwise. There are specific
rules about this (more sections of the Copyright code).
