This is very much not what your link says - quoting: --- Subject to sections 107 through 122, the owner of copyright under this title has the exclusive rights to do and to authorize any of the following: (1) to reproduce the copyrighted work in copies or phonorecords; (2) to prepare derivative works based upon the copyrighted work; (3) to distribute copies or phonorecords of the copyrighted work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending; (4) in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and motion pictures and other audiovisual works, to perform the copyrighted work publicly; (5) in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works, including the individual images of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, to display the copyrighted work publicly; and (6) in the case of sound recordings, to perform the copyrighted work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission. ---- This is far from an unlimited grant of power. Of this list, the only plausible grounds is (2) - derivative works. Which means we're well into then arguing about "Fair Use"[1], which I would encourage people to read the full description of carefully - because the answer isn't whether you can come up with a snippy "gotcha!" it's whether under careful consideration in the court of law anyone would be likely to agree with you.

  None of this stuff is being used as fair use (criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, research, etc.) nor is it used verbatim -- a fair use requirement. I really don't know why people bother bringing it up other than to create an uninformed distraction.
