The paragraph you are referring is concerning copying a post made in
Usenet, not copying a news article published by a news agency online and in
a newspaper. You ignore the other 293 pages of the law.

Since I doubt any of the news agencies would waste their time in prosecuting
the people who prefer to cut and paste articles instead of using their own
intellectual abilities, if you prefer to ignore the law, you have a very low
probability of being convicted.

Did you have express permission to post that site?

Posting a link, or even an accredited excerpt, is not a copyright
violation.

And copying a post isn't either. I've giving the actualy paragraph of
the Copyright Act of 1988 that proves that.
