Fair Use Day

[soleklypse]

"It is important the people are aware of what they can legally do with regards to copyrighted material," said Pirate Party US spokesman Andrew Norton. "Very often people believe that a use of copyrighted material that would normally fall into fair use is an infringement of copyright. It is a belief that copyright holders seek to enforce, either through frivolous litigation, intimidation, or legal and political maneuvering to legally restrict what can be considered fair use. This is especially true when it comes to critical reviews, or parodies."
