copyright law (which is applicable to me): ….
RESPONSE : 1-
Fair use, a limitation and exception to the exclusive right granted by
copyright law to the author of a creative work, is a doctrine in United
States copyright law that allows limited use of copyrighted material
without requiring permission from the rights holders….. THE LAW :-
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 17 U.S.C. § 106 and 17 U.S.C.
§ 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by
reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified
by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news
reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use),
scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.

RESPONSE: Fair use does not state one is free to upload copyrighted
material to the internet. Period. Having a soft-copy (read electronic)
is a more serious violation than having a hard-copy of a publication
(paper, book, music, movie, etc). With the latter you might get away
with the Fair Use clause.
The refered site in the weblink below used to be one of the most popular
sites for live sports. If we had this discussion last weekend, I would
have asked you to point your browser to that site and read the message
from Homeland Security on copyright infringement.
