The Copyright Office can neither determine if a certain use may be considered fair nor advise on possible copyright violations. If there is any doubt, it is advisable to consult an attorney.


Where in the world do you see torrents/tubes/P2P using fair use as described above?
seriously you trying to justify using the copyright office legal disclaimer to justify invalidating fair use uses of a technology

if i USE torrents like a VCR to timeshift shows i paid for that USE is fair use

if i USE a tube site to make the commentary

this is the coolest dance routine i have ever seen



without showing you the video that commentary is worthless
