Thats what happened.

The grey areas will be painted over black before its all said and done. To many powerful corporations losing hundreds of millions of dollars will see to that.

And if they don't get it through the courts they'll get it through lobbyist.

I woudn't count on exploiting the works of others as a long-term business model not by any means.
your so right, i was so glad to hear that pesky timeshifting ruling was taken out

it was amazing to see the judge rule that you don't have a right to timeshift to a cloud. (oh wait the judge did rule you have a right to timeshift to a cloud)

it not like the 6 TRILLION dollar fair use economy doesn't have it own lobby groups, or legal groups fighting every infringement of fair use.


if anything new techologies are bringing new fair use rights (as it should be).
