Kyle: The 10% rule is just a guideline. Copyright doesn’t apply for the purposes of personal study either. Satire is a dodgey one. It’s often unlitigated since it tends to make people look worse than the satire did, and it’s also often not financially worth suing the satirist (unless you just want an injunction). The whole point about copyright is that it is. in fact, infringed all the time, but very few infringements are noteworthy. This is the reason people seem to think you can copy entire chapters of books and not infringe copyright: you are infringing copyright, in the same way that you break the law by driving at 101kph in a 100kph zone.

You’re right in thinking, however, that we won’t get in trouble for posting it here, because it’s just not worth anyone’s hassle.

So, the answer to the original question of whether or not full reproduction of an ODT article is an infringement of the copyright which subsists in the article as a literary compilation is yes, it is.

Hellyer: Someone besides Kyle and I who understands the concept eh? Lord be praised, a miracle!

My scanner is, for some strange reason, unwilling to email it to me. It’s having issues, and I can’t find my usb scanner

Sorry Joe, none of this halfsies business for me.
