Nope, not at all. I think our postings here, for the most part, constitute fair use.

Paraphrasing would not necessarily excuse what would otherwise constitute copyright infringement.

Must be the off-season. :rolleyes:

Since I'm not an attorney by trade or training, I'm not legally able to bill you (or anyone) for what amounts to nothing more than an opinion.

No. No. He is with the African Water Park branch.

Nah. If you're citing to a rule in an officials forum to explain a call, or a non-call, or a shoulda-call, then it's fair use to present the rule as written, especially since it is demonstrated that not citing the complete rule can lead to misinterprettion. It fits the fair use balancing test, especially since most participants in the forum probably possess a copy of said rulebook.

It ceases to be fair use if you just post the rule and intend it to be used as a general reference

So I'm just wondering where you get the reference material (rules, positioning, etc) that you guys are always alluding to in your posts? Do I need to know a special password and a secret handshake? Just kidding.
Google 2-man or 3-man basketball mechanics filetype:ppt. In addition, buy the rules book, officials manual, and case book from nfhs.org as stated above.
