Hello fellow FJGD'ers, this is a forum-wide announcement by the site admins regarding posting entire NewsCorp articles and their claim of copyright breaching

Copyright Material

As publishers of your posts, please be aware that you could be held liable should you post material belonging to a third party.

Fair dealing in many jurisdictions allows for a small amount of a work to be reproduced for a number of purposes, including parody/satire and criticism or review.

Otherwise, BigFooty terms of use forbid posting material that may be considered a copyright infringement:
