- JustSomeNobody 7y agoDoesn’t work on iOS 13.3. Just get a black screen with the CC text. Doesn’t this fly in the face of the fair use doctrine?
- colejohnson66 7y agoFair use is not a right; it’s a defense. You don’t have a right to use materials for educational purposes. What happens is: you’re sued and you argue that your usage was fair use. Because of that distinction, you technically have no right to take screenshots of copyrighted media. Side note: the reason for this distinction is that there’s no set criteria for fair use. Some people say there’s the “10 second rule” or whatever, but they’re wrong.
- Jamwinner 7y agoYour distinction is tortured. You absolutely have a right to do things there is a defense for.
- jbeam 7y agoIt’s not tortured. You may have the right under the law, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the private service needs to make it easy for you.
- gamblor956 7y agoThat is absolutely not true. There are plenty of legal defenses which merely reduce or shift culpability.
- natch 7y agoThanks. Haven't tried it on four out of five of those platforms. Last time I tried it didn't work for me on macOS but maybe that has changed. Definitely does not work on any recent iOS.
