"FAIR USE FAIR USE! NYAAH NYAAH NYAAAH!"

Asshole Bloggers LOVE to post a "FAIR USE" banner. As if they know what "FAIR USE" means.

Why do they even bother? Law means nothing to these assholes anyway. It's "Come and Get Me" and "Try an Slap My Wrist" and "We're ANONYMOUS" and "I'll get a fresh blog anyway! Ha ha ha!"

These illiterate brats don't even know what they're quoting.

"FAIR USE" doesn't mean you can copy an entire poem, song, book or record, whether for "educational" use or for "FREEEEEEEEEEEEE."

Most every DVD, the minute you pop it in, it tells you that you can't COPY it, and you risk arrest and a fine even if you give it away for "FREEEEEEEEEEEEE." Assholes think that if they steal a movie and simply distribute it on a torrent or in a forum, that's ok. Except there's a real distributor who is trying to make a living by placing that movie in theaters, and in then DVD stores. It's call Capitalism. Assholes also think they can give away an entire Jethro Tull discography because it's "educational" and people will know about Jethro Tull. Then what? Buy a fucking t-shirt? Meanwhile the blogger is asking for a Paypal donation for his HARD WORK, and Kim Dotcom the Nazi Cocksucker is offering a "premium account" so the download will be faster and that's ok because HE put together a stealing website and should be paid for HIS work.

What "fair use" is about, actually, is, in a word, being FAIR.

If I'm writing a review of a book or a record, I obviously should be able to quote a few lines. That's "fair use" because I'm encouraging the reader TO BUY THE FUCKING BOOK OR RECORD.

"Fair Use" doesn't mean I can make a copy of it. That violates a thing COPYRIGHT.

That's all "Fair Use" is designed for. But stupid child-like shits want to weasel around it, with hand in the cookie jar "logic." Like, "Oh, you said I couldn't have a COOKIE...I'm reaching for a BROWNIE." Or, "You said I couldn't have a cookie but I was taking it for LATER." Or, "It's FAIR USE, I was gonna give the cookie to a FRIEND of mine..." Or, "Sorry..." and an hour later you go to the kitchen, turn on the light, and the fucking cookie jar is gone completely. Ha ha ho ho hee hee. "Spank me and I'll call the police and say you molested me!" Brat wins.

Just because something is "out of print" doesn't mean it's out of copyright. Or that the owner of the copyright isn't busy working on a deal to get a new edition out there.

Too bad copyright owners and pieces of lazy shit like the MPAA and RIAA and the disorganized writers unions and publishers don't just slap DMCA's on anyone and everyone who puts a "FAIR USE" banner on their blog. Too bad GOOGLE doesn't instantly send a warning to say "you are misinterpreting what FAIR USE is about, and we have removed your STUPID statement because it encourages STUPIDITY."

Section 107 does "mitigate" damages. If you copy five lines from a copyrighted song, instead of four, it wouldn't be "fair" for Lennon-McCartney to sue you for a million dollars. A judge would say that if you were stupid and not malicious, court costs might be all. And it wouldn't even get to court if you cooperated with a DMCA and didn't get a fresh blog a dozen times. Likewise, in cases of plagiarism, a court has to determine if you did it deliberately or if it was sloppy copying and accreditation. But the four "factors" in determining a "particular case" of fair use aren't intended to condone the obvious copying of entire albums, books, poems or song lyrics or anything else somebody else created and copyrighted and is trying to control. You naive or malicious selfish fuckhead.

If you're a blogger, and you still don't get it, than your definition of "fair use" would have to include my fist knocking all your teeth out. Because that would be "educational" for you. Don't whine to the cops. It's "fair." I'm merely demonstrating how my fist works. I'm not charging you anything. It's not for profit. Right? Oh, not so right? You think your teeth belong in your head and not on the ground? You don't like the idea of somebody damaging your property? Hmmm....

Well too bad, I'll knock your fucking teeth out anyway. And if you don't like it, and start whining, I'll punch you in the nose, too. I'll get all my ANONYMOUS friends to follow you around, kicking you. Just like when a blogger gets a Prince or KISS album pulled, and tells the world, "Hey everybody, let's ALL put up Prince and KISS albums and drive these guys nuts. That'll teach 'em!"

You think an artist should sell a few thousand less albums because YOU believe in "fair use."

Well, you might look a little less appetizing without your teeth. I'm being "fair" aren't I? Listen, I sort of get that maybe, MAYBE you'd rather have ALL your teeth, so I'll just knock out half of them. OK? I'll knock out all the ones on the left side. Then, just walk around showing everyone your right side. Or.....BUY A T-SHIRT. Yeah! Everybody likes to look at a t-shirt. People will really enjoy the t-shirt and not look at the side of your face with the teeth knocked out! So buy a t-shirt! Oh, and maybe buy a jockstrap, too, for support, because I'll probably have kicked you in the balls. And if YOU don't support your balls, nobody else will. YOU ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH BALLS, thinking you know all about "fair use."
