RE: Would the Image I Used for this Post be Considered "Fair Use"?

I wouldn't worry about it, it's not like you are gonna be noticed by a major corporation, and if you were, you could use it as a platform to say what you got to say.

As long as you cite the source, you should be good, imo.

Sort:  

The big companies like going after small groups and individuals. The small groups tend to lack representation. Even worse, the big groups are able to choose jurisdiction.

The application of DCMA in P2P files haring applications is a good example. They go after college students. According to NCCU the fines start at $750 per file. The average case is usually around $4,000 but can run higher. You can check court records and you will find college students saddled with fines they are completely unequipped to pay.

They go after college students!!!!!!

As for jurisdiction ... I live in Utah. Utah is controlled by a multi-billion dollar corporation that has an extensive history of stomping on people who challenge the central authority.

Can you guess the name of the corporation?

The corporation is powerful. They control the courts and most of the law firms. They came close to buying their way into the US presidency in 2012.

They have a long history of squashing people.

So, bend over and accept your enslavement?

If you need to win in court, here is how to do it yourself.

To effectively resist one needs to know what they are resisting. If I am resisting the multi-billion dollar corporation that sits on the corner of Temple and State; I do not want to hamper myself by accidentally running afoul copyright law.

BTW, the multi-billion dollar corporation on the corner of Temple and State appears to be crumbling from the inside.

Seems a little ocd, to me.
