What is the definition of a paragraph, for copyright purposes ?
Yes, I know what a paragraph is.

However, in many news articles, they break them up into one sentence "paragraphs" for easy readability.

Is a paragraph here 2 sentences or more ? I know the limit for us is 4 paragraphs. Just trying to follow the copyright rules.

Thanks, Steve

1. For the purposes of DU copyright enforcement...
...a paragraph is a paragraph.

2. Ok thanks ! :)
So, at the most extreme, a four paragraph excerpt consisting of four separate sentences would be the limit.

Thank you for clarifying this !

Steve
