Yoko Ono/EMI Suit Exposes Fair Use Flaw
Ian Lamont writes "Yoko Ono and EMI Records have backed down from their suit against the makers of a documentary film who used a 15-second fragment of a John Lennon song — but only after a Stanford Law School group got involved. Even though the use of the clip was clearly Fair Use, the case exposed a huge problem with the doctrine: It's becoming too expensive for people to actually take advantage of what is supposed to be a guaranteed right. Ironically, the song in question was Imagine."
Did you see the 'terible' film. It was actually pretty well down and may challenge your small closed mind.
The film showed three things to me. One the elitism in science, that would deny many great thinkers if they were alive today.
That being a lemming is more important is science now than having an independant thought.
Three that many scientists would rather believe ANYTHING, including aliens creating life here, than a god exist. Which to me is the same thing, since fundie's believe God existed before earth, that actually makes Him an alien LOL
If you put the two together you get quite an insightful speech!
"Gandhi - Dead, Martin Luther King - Dead, John Lennon - Dead, JFK - Dead, Reagan...Wounded, I mean take John Lennon. We live in a country where John Lennon takes six bullets in the chest. Yoko Ono is standing right next to him. Not one Fucking bullet. Explain that to me!"
Ok, it's not word for word but you get my point!
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was going blame you for it!
