Pocketpctools.com was threatened by overzealous lawyers from Ziff-Davis/EWeek when they posted an article that included a small excerpt from and a link to an article originally published in eWeek.
After a Slashdot post appeared that publicly aired the issue, the executive editor of eWeek retracted the threat and apologized. Cory Doctorow has an interesting comment on using public humiliation as a tool to protect fair use.
