Sec. 107. - Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use

In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include -

FR Has ALWAYS been about research, criticism and commentary. This is too weird.

I would HONORED to have anything of mine critiqued on FR. Even if I was a lib, I wouldn't care. It's publicity. Some people can't take the heat!

Apparently this also means that you can't buy a newspaper, and sit around a break room with your co-workers and read and discuss the articles, either.

I expect a crackdown on this obvious violation of Fair Use...

This would put a siege mentality on any research. My daughter's term paper, a journalism student's use of news copy to study the principles of editing, a teacher putting news clips on a bulletin board--all require the use of copywrit matierial. The phony efforts of the left and their co-conspirators the press to silence our independent pursuit of the truth is getting me really fired up. The ultimate battle is how people use the Internet for the transfer of information. The press must see the writing on the wall--this is their way they are trying to fight their demise as they relegate themselves to the ash heap of history.
