> Companies accepting "user uploaded content" are mostly entirely pointless

You just uploaded user content to HN... well.

You’re quite fine linking to an article, but reproducing parts of it won’t be ok.

This is a link in HTML: <a href="URL" title="link title" target="link target">link label</a>

The "link lable" is a preview/snippet of content. If I a quote 1-2 sentences from the article, it is a snippet. Where do you draw the line?

If the article is a one or two sentence article then you can't quote all of it.

If you've quoted an insubstantial portion then the law already says that's ok.
