Actually, that is not accurate. US copyright law has a broad "fair use" exception, and the case law includes interpretations that certain journalistic uses and certain parodies are fair use (not all of either). Other countries generally have no concept of "fair use", instead they have specific statutory exceptions, for example for some journalistic uses. The situation is murky enough that it's best to ignore fair use when talking about computer programs. -- Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho http://antti-juhani.kaijanaho.info/ Blogi - http://kaijanaho.info/antti-juhani/blog/ Toys - http://www.cc.jyu.fi/yhd/toys/
