not that i think bannedcelebs would fall under fair use
So could someone make a "newsworthy" site about free/stolen content being available online and include galleries of stolen content?

Or a site about the possible exploitation of impoverished females in eastern europe and load it up with stolen content?

Or a site with tutorials explaining how to convert video file formats with copyrighted full length clips as examples in the tutorials?

I understand the laws as they pertain to celebrity sites and fair use. Just wondering how far it could go
