Please could one of the moderators answer this question: When posting a link to a web news article (e.g. from a newspaper site or the BBC), how much of the article (if any) is one allowed to copy and paste into their post?

When posting to unmoderated newsgroups, I would normally quote the whole story, but I'm not sure whether that's strictly allowed copyright-wise, so when posting news articles to URCM, I've played it safe to date and quoted none of the article so there's no reason to reject my post. However, I would like to quote as much as I am allowed for the convenience of those reading my posts, so if someone could please clarify how much is allowed then I (and presumably others) will go by that in future posts.

Thanks in advance.
