The Editors at DIAGRAM have no problem with the use of that quote under fair use rules.

form over substance - a person can agree that their copyrighted work can be used under a fair use rubric. we disagree that the 200 word blockquote was brief, or not. the word count is not definitive, the percentage of the total is low. copyright is a gray area not subject to bot calculations. there must be harm done, by quoting and linking, the value of the original is if anything enhanced.
