Open letter to Financial Times Sales

Hi,
As a premium subscriber to the paper I thought I was able to copy small pieces of text for personal use and that this would be covered by most fair use doctrines.

However, after copying the text "“anything other than a record crop” is now a problem because of the need to meet rising food, livestock and ethanol fuel demand." from your October 10 article "Downbeat corn stirs up a buying frenzy" your website inserted into my clipboard warning text that was longer than the actual text I was copying.

Please use the link to reference this article. Do not copy & paste articles which is a breach of FT.com's Ts&Cs (www.ft.com/servicestools/help/terms) and is copyright infringement. Send a link for free or email ftsales.support@ft.com to purchase rights. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/36deb566-d55e-11df-8e86-00144feabdc0.html##ixzz15qp0W2gz  

So I have followed your instructions and am now emailing you ask how much it would cost for me to purchase this sentence fragment for my personal use.

Thank you,
Darin Friedrichs
