Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 17 U.S.C. § 106 and 17 U.S.C. § 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:

  1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
  2. the nature of the copyrighted work;
  3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
  4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.

I'm no lawyer, but I can't really find a way that fair use is applicable in this case. Also point 4 is taken into consideration here. And no I obviously don't agree that games shouldn't be allowed in libraries. The law should be changed. I just don't see how fair use is relevant.

No, just laws.

That applies to most of the drama surrounding Linux.

Spammers ruined this not email companies.

If you really do that with every artist you listen to then sure.

I doubt the artists agree with your take.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Comparable, yes.

Suggest a country then

If you prefer medieval times then sure.

It's all you talk about though.

No one cares about Adam when his ideas are frankly stupid. Or at least how you describe them. He might be a solid dude.

No, it's government sanctioned non anarchy.

Go to Antarctica or something if you don't like society.

Lol, are you some sovereign citizen‽

The world doesn't work like that. You can't just say "No that thing isn't your! I didn't agree with it being yours."
