But nobody really knows what fair use means. We have a general idea but that's it.

No, we do know what Fair Use is it's just that people like to claim it as an excuse when it's not valid.

CASE IN POINT: Mike Masnick. That sonofabitch is the most ignorant loud-mouth "I ain't never made nothing creative so everything is Fair Use" sinkhole asshole since Nick Denton.

Fair Use is alive and well. Idiots who try to wear it as a defense cloak get what's coming to them. I know the right lawyers to dail up if I ever need to, but I haven't needed to, because I'm not Masnick.
