Editorial guidelines: Copyrighted material: initiating a longterm refWrite think-thru



I fI found the following on the web somewhere:o


THE USE OF ANY COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL 
IS USED UNDER THE GUIDELINES OF "FAIR USE " 
IN TITLE 17 & 107 OF THE UNITED STATES CODE. 


SUCH MATERIAL REMAINS THE COPYRIGHT OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER 
AND IS USED HERE FOR THE PURPOSES OF 
EDUCATION, COMPARISON AND CRITICISM ONLY. 


Also, there's  parallel but different legislation in Canada, legislation which is being evaluated by a Parliamentary Committee for the purplose of writing a new copyright law.    The existing r+ts of the poor, especially those poor who blog, will probably be erased in the new law when Parliament finishes hacking to pieces the old provisions.   In the Bible, the poor were permitted by law (torah) to glean the fields of well-off after their workers completed the main job of the harvest.


I found the above (yellow text on red field) on the web, and woud only add to it the purpose of semiotic experiment on the digital level -- which includes altering by colour schematics, by repositioning, by refonting of typefaces, by resizing, by utlizing and/or removing elements from a found webpage that do not fit this blog in the original manner in which found, etc.  I have to think this thru further, so additional elements or new ideas may be added or removed.
