The U.S. and Canada both have 'Fair Use' (wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use) allowance of copyrighted material. While the four conditions of Fair Use disallow for-profit activity, the poster of an excerpt from an EMC standard does not benefit and has purchased a copy. As for the U.K. and other such bastions of artistic integrity, they have the 'Fair Dealing' concept.
