really

ask george bush if he gave micheal moore permission to use his speeches in his distributed to millions documentary

ask charlton heston if he gave micheal moore permission to use his speeches in his distributed to millions of people documentary




copyright act has always allowed "mass distribution" for fair use purposes

the only requirement is that it meet the four conditions of fair use

BTW stupid statements like it always piracy is exactly the reason why we need to take away copyright monopoly from idiots who don't know the difference between fair use and infringement

because if you let them keep their copyright they will violate free speech/ and destroy innovation.
