I'm not sure there is a reasonable workable definition of 'fair use'. My understanding is that you shouldn't paste more than 1/3 of the text of a web article and if it has informative content you shouldn't post the whole of that even if it is less than 33% of the text, I think the laws differ in the EU and the US and that FT applies US rules regardless of poster locale.
Very happy to have people who know more correct me on this because I'm pretty unsure about it and I expect others are too.
