Yeah, yeah, same old, same old.
If it's not "Look! Pirates! We're all going to die!!! We need to strengthen copyright NOW!"
Then it's: "Ouch! I lost a copyright lawsuit! We're all going to die!!! WHO is responsible for this insanity?"
- baldfat 12y agoNot all same old! Same old = copyright laws are broken New = this decision makes it even further broken
- _0ffh 12y agoSame old = copyright laws are getting more and more broken
- geebee 12y agoI don't think the scenarios are all that similar. The first is about taking a precise and full replica of a copyrighted work and putting it on a file sharing system. The second is about borrowing, perhaps heavily, from a copyrighted work to create a derivative work. I don't think it's necessarily inconsistent to consider the first infringement and the second fair use.
