True. Or false.

Which part of 'I didn't say copyright laws were being violated by 'putting true or false' on any website' don't you understand?

I said that those who have the test, and the answers, legally " . . . have a responsibility as conservators of copywritten material."

How do I know that? Because I have made a living in part via intellectual property? Nah. Because it says 'copyright' on the test. What is fair use for those of us who have the test legally? I'm not even _trying_ to tell you. I'm just raising consciousness.
Could you produce one court case dealing specifically with the internet that would make it illegal for people on the internet to discuss this test or copyrighted material?

Peace
"Could you produce one court case dealing specifically with the internet that would make it illegal for people on the internet to discuss this test or copyrighted material?"


It depends on what you mean by 'discuss'. If you quote some (small) element of copyrighted material as part of a review or for teaching purposes, among other things, that may be alright. If you provide entire questions and answers, that may not be alright.

Brad Templeton (http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html) notes: "Fair use is a complex doctrine meant to allow certain valuable social purposes. Ask yourself why you are republishing what you are posting and why you couldn't have just rewritten it in your own words."

If you reproduce the Fed test and the answers here in this forum, I'll be glad to forward it to the them for you.
