explain how exactly will fair use survive in that situation.
What is "fair use"

Putting it onto a site for others to share it and writing a short description or critique of it isn't fair use. It's trying to avoid the law. you know that and you either will say it or lie.

Free speech isn't being killed. You can say what you like about my content, if it's your opinion. If you lie, then that's libel.

How ever saying "Paul Markham has some great looking teens." Then giving the viewer a link to download the site, isn't free speech or fair use. It's theft of my content. Or do you think otherwise?
