Oh, boy. Don't get me started... I'd refer you to a discussion of "fair use"
and other aspects of the U.S. copyright law, amended 1976. There's a bunch
out there. In a nutshell, a published work is the result of someone else's
labor, creativity and expense, not yours. It's covered by U.S. copyright
law. You can't use it without permission. It's the law.

Well, the New York Times is everywhere as well, but I think you'd find
yourself at the wrong end of the argument if you put several pages of The
Times on your website without their permission *if* it didn't fall under the
"Fair Use" doctrine. This is kind of a bone of mine (no shit!) Lots of
people's work is stolen for use on the internet and the author loses
ownership of it. Again, it's the law.

A really good reference is at <fairuse.stanford.edu/> Check out "Copyright
and Fair Use Overview".

Now, back to your regularly scheduled British Car programming....
