IF you put 50 cents in a newspaper box and take two newspapers, you 
are stealing one of them (presuming the cost of the paper is 50 
cents). It is a small crime, but it is stealing all the same. Going 
into a site that requires payment and pasting an article from that 
pay site into a mailing list is not different in the act, in fact it 
is more like stealing a truck full of newspapers.

Attorney or not, copyright violation is stealing.  Now, if Mr. 
Naegele gets permission from the WSJ or the author of the article to 
reprint it, that is fine; it is also (usually) appropriate for 
someone to post a paragraph or two along with a link to the entire 
article.  However, from the WSJ subscription agreement:

"c.     You agree not to create abstracts from, scrape or display 
headlines from our content for use on another web site or service. 
You agree not to post any content from WSJ.com to newsgroups, mail 
lists or electronic bulletin boards, without our written consent."

So even an abstract of an article posted to this list is a violation 
of copyright law (as stated earlier in their subscription agreement).
