and before you do the bullshit, sampling is obviously fair use, timeshifting isn't real dance you always do. The fact is there is no ladder of fair use, each is equally valid and has to be considered equally.



the irony is the more effective you prove this policy is
the more reason that the tubes would have to fight back.
if everyone dmca a site out of google then they would have no choice but to start counter suing to keep their listings.
Funny thing is counter claim notice is only 1 page long too, send that in and the list has to be put back.
The only way you could deal with it then is to go to court and prove that the fair use right justification is bogus.

I am sure the judge would love your ni gg a please arguement
