it not my definition of parody it's the courts
that is a small clip from the movie, one scene out of dozens.
the context was changed by the messaging
and no one in their right mind would argue that people who wanted to see the original would stop not watch the original because of that clip (no lost sale= no economic loss)

it meets the conditions of fair use test defined within the copyright act

i guess we know your definition of supporting fair use



i rarely go to movies, they are not worth the effort, it noise it crowded, you can't pause the movie to go to the bathroom.

that being said the current marketplace that says my dad can't watch the movie when it first comes out (because he lost his leg and can't sit in those movie theater seats for hours at a time) shouldn't have a right to enjoy the movie is absurd an abuse of copyright law as when universal said you could only watch this tv show in the specific hour we give it to you.(during the betamax trial)

The elimination of that abusive position created the entire home viewing marketplace (Video cassettes, dvd, blue ray).

Likewise if movie studios had to release their movies at the same time on dvd/tv/internet as they released it in the theaters the would have no choice but to make the theater experience better to attract the audience. We would have 42 bit color movies that looked like they were 3d (without the stupid glasses) we have 12 point dolby surround sound, we would have temp/humidity controls tied to events in the movie so the experience would be worth $20 even though you could watch it at home for free on tv (with commercials) or buy a normal watching version (on dvd/internet) without commercials

That good for everyone except for the greedy middlemen (the guys taking 6/8 dollars of a movie ticket) who slowing down technology to make more money for themselves




i have never advocated piracy
i have said leave the seeder alone
leave the tracker alone
leave the leachers who have a fair use right to the content alone
go after those leachers who don't have cede fair use rights.

if any of you guys respected fair use you would agree with this statement instead praising every conviction
i will only add following.. in regards to you and piracy

if you were only talk about technology and how greatly it can be used and help us all,
if you would acknowledge simple fact that sites like pirate bay facilitate much more illegal activity than fair use, I would never see you in light of protecting pirates and what they do on top of providing fair use. they had to defend themselves not because of fair use issues (there're none that massive and global like piracy issues) but because their service facilitates so much copyright infringement. it is a global problem on a massive scale - many industries get hurt - this affects economies and quality of future production.
you always come by not only defending and embracing great technology but as a defender of those who provide service facilitating enormous amounts of infringement, trying to cover it by tiny piece of fair usage and people's rights to use someone else's content.

you know why? when Joe comes to PB and wants to time shift he's favorite TV show and next to it he sees a link to newest and hottest movie ripped right here freely avail. to download - many will d/l it with out second thought. - that is the problem, you can't go around it until you acknowledge it. no defending of technology will work until fair use is totally separated from pirated material.

have a good day.
