This was my parsing of the article as well. The video could be viewed as being either a "commentary" or a "criticism" or both. The continuation "and copyright law explicitly..." is reinforcing that author's belief that this is the case.
- alexqgb 14y agoI'm fairly sure the "commentary and criticism" exception pertains to fair use use of media that refers to the media itself (e.g. film reviews, cultural commentary, satire of a popular program etc.) All this is very different from declaring "I'm producing a work of commentary or criticism and therefore I can do anything I want with whatever I find, even if the point I'm making relates to something else entirely." That's just a rookie move. Rupert Murdoch really was right about Romney needing to "drop old friends from team and hire some real pros." https://twitter.com/rupertmurdoch/status/219393140245807104 https://twitter.com/rupertmurdoch/status/219393140245807104
