Your 'right' to use others people's copyrighted works is in no way equivalent to 2nd Ammd freedoms. Just because the law allows you to use somethung under fair use does not mean the publisher/generator has to make it easy. Under your argument every book and newspaper should be required to be available in digital format ... note that some newspapers require subscriptions, even online, and the law has protected their right to do so. Stop whining. This is not the demise of the 1st Ammd.

1: I never said it was the same as the 2nd adm. I said your LOGIC was the same.
2: I am not saying that everything should be in a digital format. Not once did I type anything like that.
3: I never said that subs where wrong.
4: I never claimed this was the demise of the 1st.

Now a question for you. Do you always place words in others mouths when you are losing an argument? I humbly suggest that you review the founders writings on what they intended the right of copyright to be.

Note to the moderators: If this is out of line please let me know. Reading over the FR rules of conduct I do not think it is but I have no desire to be banned.
