heh gideon
did some reading on 'fair-use', domestically, and the international applications thereof
I can see I have a whole lot more reading to do - and I will, so this is my last post in this thread. But i'm going to get an education on this so we shall meet again
I totally grant you that the 'cases' that you oft quote from are indeed present - you don't seem to acknowledge the numerous 'other examples' that dispute almost all that you say, and you don't explain why the examples you DO cite, don't actually apply to the current state of 'internet mass file sharing' but to a case that is quite dissimilar.
but from what I have read so far, I will leave you with this....
till we meet again ...
