Apologist much? The NYT posted the PDF on their own servers, not merely a link. The quality of the scan is immaterial. An entire article, without commentary or any other contribution, is exactly what fair use isn't. While _we_ may take an enlightened approach to republishing out-of-print materials, the thrust of the Phoenix's response is that the NYT hypocritically opposes reasonable approaches to copyright.
- donohoe 15y agoApologist much? Apologist: a person who makes a defense in speech or writing of a belief, idea, etc. Yes, I guess so. I think rprasad said it best: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3569201 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3569201 To quote: This is the textbook definition of "fair use": providing a copy of an out-of-print, otherwise unavailable news article, for the purposes of supplementing a published news article. (Fair use is a multi-factor test with no fixed requirements...it's basically whatever use is "fair" in the context of the actual use.)
