<em>I don't see how: at least in the emails posted, Fortune never authorizes Arrington to post the full excerpt: they talk about writing a post "on the book excerpts".</em> He DID publish a book excerpt. Based on the way they kept saying full content, they want to make it sound like he published the entire book or something. They asked if he would publish excerpts. They sent him excerpts. He published excerpts. He followed the rules and they want to change it and cry "fire" after the fact.

They asked if he would publish excerpts. Except they didn't, at least not in any publicly-posted email that I can see. In fact, they describe the excerpt as "exclusive" to Fortune -- they asked Arrington to post "on the book excerpts", not "to post the book excerpts". As I said, a miscommunication -- and there is a simple, mature way to handle that.
