[CBQ] Fair Use

[Norm Metcalf <n.metcalf@worldnet.att.net>]

There's no need for trying to find loopholes in the law if permission is 
obtained from the copyright holder.
Several misconceptions regarding Fair Use have been propounded.  The 
idea that giving away someone else's work is fair usage invalidates the 
whole concept of copyright.  The idea that anyone who is interested is 
entitled to a free copy is invalid. Case law varies on how many copies 
constitute infringement.  One copy for your personal use is allowed. 
One professor was convicted for making thirty copies for his class.  The 
percentage or total wordage is another factor, again case law has 
imposed limits of 10% or 500 words and then for the purpose of expanding 
knowledge by using the quoted section in conjunction with further study 
of the subject.
