Cultural v. Commercial Uses
Posted January 29, 2008 07:43 PM
Cory Doctorow: "Copyright law should distinguish between commercial and cultural uses" (2008)
Professor L. Ray Patterson: "The competitor uses the copyright; the consumer uses the work. The copyright owner, by reason of the Copyright Act and the copyright clause, has not only no right to interfere, but a duty not to interfere with the consumer's use of a publicly disseminated work." (Free Speech, Copyright, and Fair Use 1987)
