Microsoft vs Gideongallery
Judge: How many Windows Vista dvd backups did you make?
Gideon: 5 million
Judge: Why did you make 5 million dvd backups?
Gideon: Just in case 4999999 backups are lost,broken,or stolen. I can make as many backups as I want because it is my fair-use right.
Judge: Where did you store these dvd backups?
Gideon: In a wharehouse in Beijing,China.
Judge: Did you ever use these backups?
Gideon: No. Unfortuntately, fair-use activists broke into the wharehouse and stole all my backups to make parodies. Fortunately, I still have the original Windows Vista dvd in order to make more backups.
Judge: Is it true that you are currently torrent seeding your Windows Vista dvd?
Gideon: Yes. I am seeding in order to make more backups on remote computers. Seeders always have a backup right. I can make as many backups as I want.
Judge: I have made my decision.
Judge: Gideon has fair-use rights to make as many backups of Windows Vista as he wants. And he can put those backups in any place he wants including a distribution wharehouse in China or torrent seed them onto other people's computers. This case is dismissed!
Gideon: Thank you.... (wakes up)
