Techdirt Podcast Episode 13: Fair Use Protects Culture From Copyright, Not The Other Way Around
from the fair-use-week dept
Today we're continuing our recognition of Fair Use Week with an episode of the Techdirt Podcast focused entirely on this critical (but commonly misunderstood) counterbalance to copyright law. Though framed by many copyright proponents as a frivolous exception, fair use is actually fundamental to protecting not just free speech, but everything about our shared culture of art, thought, conversation and criticism.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

what's happening now on fair use
WIPO broadcasting treaty and TPP secret negotiations on new copyrights could be concluded in 2015.
According to the WIPO, new rights e.g. post-fixation rules would apply regardless of whether the content was in the public domain or whether a fair use argument applies.
The draft also includes rights management information like broadcast flag that was eliminated officially by FCC in August 2011 because of exceeding its authority in creating this rule.

How to prove fair use
There are some ways to prove the fair use.
As one of the examples, if eff.org puts the fair use server on the Internet, consumers are allowed to transform themselves into provable fair users to re-transmit the free over-the-air broadcast via internet.
The fair use server provides a higher order solution that protects copyright while executing fair use, meaning that cybersecurity and cyberfreedom aren't trade-offs.
