I think existing copyright law allows this kind of usage. Please refer to Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. § 107. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use http:/

- karl_gluck 12y agoThat's exactly my point -- (editing clarification) that the Copyright Act does not consider this fair use. From the article you referenced, "A key consideration is the extent to which the use is interpreted as <transformative>, as opposed to merely <derivative>." These are not parodies, being used for education or being used for critical analysis of the subject.
- Dylan16807 12y agoIt doesn't have to be. Parody and education are the situations where you can pretty much use the entire thing... but they're not using the entire thing.
