unless your going back to that bullshit only the fair uses defined in the act are legal
by ignoring the fact that the act also defines the rules they must follow to create new fair uses via the court system. |
Great, so very specifically this relates to Free television/VTR's:
The record and the District Court's findings show (1) that there is a significant likelihood that substantial numbers of copyright holders who license their works for broadcast on free television would not object to having their broadcast time-shifted by private viewers (i.e., recorded at a time when the VTR owner cannot view the broadcast so that it can be watched at a later time); and (2) that there is no likelihood that time-shifting would cause nonminimal harm to the potential market for, or the value of, respondents' copyrighted works. The VTR's are therefore capable of substantial noninfringing uses. Private, noncommercial time-shifting in the home satisfies this standard of noninfringing uses both because respondents have no right to prevent other copyright holders from authorizing such time-shifting for their programs and because the District Court's findings reveal that even the unauthorized home time-shifting of respondents' programs is legitimate fair use. Pp. 442-456.
So explain to me how this relates to Movies etc that are passed around freely on torrents and P2P's, yet have never been shown on the free airwaves.
