lets try this again..
anything but YES or NO , means you are avoiding the question because you can't be honest. 
Does copyright fall under the law ?
i will remind you once again what the question is NOT
The question is NOT ,
What other various things do copyright have to do with ?
Are torrents bad ?
What is fair use .. ?
but lets be realistic here , i have already pointed out it does indeed fall under a law , a specific law infact that i posted . so unless you have some sort of proof to the contrary i would say your arguing a losing battle.. |
yes AND no
it both it depends on the context
Fair use excludes all of the exclusive rights granted by the act
so when fair use exists for the scope of that "infringing act" the law does not exist
ergo NO
for that part where fair use does not exist (ie where you have never bought a right to the content) the protects of the law do exist
ergo
YES
trying to simplify to a yes or No answer is the same as the "have you stopped beating your wife" question if you have never beaten your wife neither answer is correct.
