Re: Some BE stories and comics
Bump
Sorry, but I've read somethings that makes me both confused and extremely confused. Since definitions and explanations are kinda vague I would like to post a few things.
Explanations:
1. If you download an electronic copy of "RoboCop" for you own personal use without paying for it that is called stealing.
2. If you download an electronic copy of "RoboCop" and then make 1000 bootleg copies to sell that is called piracy.
3. If I were to purchase a copy of 'Heavy Metal' and scan one page then post it on this forum with the statement "In this month's Heavy metal there was this cool story called 'Sexaroids' where a bunch of cool transformations take place, you guys should go out an get a copy. That would be considered Fair Use: reviewer may fairly cite largely from the original work, if his design be really and truly to use the passages for the purposes of fair and reasonable criticism.` Wikipedia
4.If I were to purchase a copy of heavy Metal and scan the ENTIRE story (even though I didn't scan the entire magazine) then post it on the forum saying "Great story in heavy Metal here it is, enjoy." This would not fall under the Fair Use act: On the other hand, it is as clear, that if he thus cites the most important parts of the work, with a view, not to criticize, but to supersede the use of the original work, and substitute the review for it, such a use will be deemed in law a piracy?` Wikipedia.
My final thought... and I will take a stroll down "Double-Standards Lane" when I complain about this, becuase in my past I have enjoyed a few fan-sub Anime,
BUT...
After reading all these posts and because I have a dreadful fear of clicking on most of the links at this forum I would like to make a request. IF there are links to the 'majority of content' on this site- I would request for them to be removed.
