How substantive was the quote to the subsequent article? Was the second article as short as the one it borrowed from? Basically was the use a blatant rip-off, or did they use the quote to support their own arguments on the topic? Purpose would weigh more heavily among the four factors for me on this instance than amount. I don't let any one factor deter me from a use, but rather weigh the four together and see how it balances out.

I would appreciate thoughts on the following scenario:

A short article is printed in a magazine. A quote from a single person comprises approximately 1/3 of the article. A completing magazine copies the quote for an article on the same topic.

Infringement?
