It is my understanding that it makes no legal difference (at least in my country) whether I charge for my work or not when it infringes somebody's copyright. Simply sharing it is sufficient to get into trouble.
- LtWorf 4y agoI don't know from which weird country you're from, but in mine profiting from it changes things a lot.
- oneeyedpigeon 4y agoIt sounds like your country is the weird one. Try burning the complete works of Disney onto stacks of DVDs, then go down to your high street and hand them out. See how long you get away with that for.
- b112 4y agoI think the big difference is distribution vs consumption. Where I live, there are additional clauses in law, for mass reproduction and selling. But republishing any work as your own, probably falls into that category. And it isn't about profit, but commercial use; thus pasting onto a blog to improve your business (rankings, hit count) is a business use case.

- Dylan16807 4y agoDo you think they would act much faster if you charged a dollar or five? I don't.
- freejazz 4y agoIt's ultimately a commercial use because you are directly affecting Disney's market. This should be obvious.
