I wonder if the NYT will claim fair use or innocent infringement

From the Boston Phoenix Phlog: Hi Bill Keller. The New York Times just stole our column. Should we sue?

If SOPA & PIPA had passed and been signed into law, the Boston Phoenix could have demanded that all ad networks cease operations with the NY Times, all credit card companies stop processing their payments, and then have the entire domain name blacklisted in the US. All for linking to a PDF. Our copyright system is completely screwed up as it is, and things like SOPA, PIPA and ACTA will make it a nightmare.
