The Times article isn't only about linking or using references. It's about wholesale lifting of content as well. In discussing what some call aggregation, the Times piece talks talk about "plucking and replication elsewhere," "others kidnapped their work,' and " where is the line between promoting the good work of others and simply lifting it?" Why just link when you can lift? That seems to be the evolving tenet of the new web.
i read it differently — the "line" they rhetorically query is _somewhere_ in the range "between promoting and lifting" — that range includes all sorts of things, including various typical blogging practices that are not copyright violations, but that many still don't think are fair journalistic practices
when it's an outright copyright violation or plagiarism, the questions the article contemplates don't even matter
