How does a library get around the "fair use" defense, anyway?

Libraries do not make copies of books. Copying an entire book is not a valid "fair use" defense. Kerry or whomever owns the copyright have every right to shut down sites that post his book. In fact if they want to play hardball they can sue the site or ISP for $100K per violation. Ann Coulter, Tom Brokaw, Stephen King, Pat Buchanan, ad infinitum have that same right. Just because John Kerry is liberal commie scum sucking traitor doesn't give anyone the right. If anyone doesn't think Ann Coulter will eviscerate anyone doing this with her books, just try it and see.

LOL! So Kerry actually believes in the fundamental principle of private property -- except when it comes to taxing the average working stiff to death(despite his protestations to the contrary) and extending the time that we spend as indentured servants of Big Government/Nanny State socialism.

Unless, of course, the copyright has expired. See #40.
