you goddamned fascist, always cozying up to da man. i found the link to the law page on the commondreams fairuse policy at the bottom of all their posts. i wonder to what degree various points of fairuse must be satisfied to be considered fairuse? i would contend that the entire post was a comment on a post i had previously had on the subject and since the venue was noncommercial there was no copyright infringement. there wasnt a link, its true, but there was an effort at attribution. i disagree that the post ability to make money was infringed upon in this instance. if someone created a mirror site to the post without ads, i might see some problem with that but i cant imagine why anyone would try to do that.
