"treated sensibly". Of course.

If an academic sued for copyright violation because another academic quoted him without permission, he'd probably win.

But in the long (and even short) term he'd probably lose big as his career tanked. Academics live by other academics quoting them. So even if it's technically illegal they can't sue as it would be professional death.

Cheers,
Wol
