Bullshit.
I daresay that with a bit of research you could find several similar situations, in the past several years, where the outcome has been very nearly the opposite thereof.

Re: "knowingly false"
Amusingly, in this case I believe both statements are accurate. He was fully aware it was fair use and, further, the salient point of the discussion is that the content was, in fact, plagiarized... meaning he didn't own the copyright on it by definition.

Re: How is this even close to fair use?
"Copyright laws are in place to allow the creator/owner of said rights some level of control over their work.
Just because the guy survived the camp, just because the camp is an attrocity of the past does not justify unauthorized use of the music, or a distortion of the creator's views and intentions for the work."
In some order, actually: No they're not, and yes it does.
The video is as clear of a case of Fair Use as you can find.
Finally, uploading to youtube != commercial exploitation.

It's also a... number? Which has a defined value equal to 1-1. As 1 has a value (of 1) and 1+1 = 2 does not have a "double-numeric" value, it's obvious that the value is in fact an intrinsic property of the set. Of which zero is a member.
I'd like to thank you for demonstrating that your ignorance is inclusive of mathematics and philosophy as well, and would request you not mind-fuck my chosen profession any further by pretending to knowledge you don't have.

Uhm... nobody, to my knowledge, said anything related to that.
What was said, which is entirely truthful, is that free market capitalism as embraced by both the tea party and republicans is highly favorable to large corporations.
The point here is that there's an amusing dichotomy between embracing "free-market capitalism" and "intellectual property" to the extent the US has done so, yet both the republican and tea parties continue to embrace both as though they weren't completely contradictory concepts.
The particular mix that has occurred is, in point of fact, very highly favorable to large corporations holding effective monopolies and using their combined financial power and that of gov't granted monopolies (i.e. patents) to eliminate the concept of "competition", which is what free-market capitalism SHOULD be encouraging.
Therefore, allow me to paraphrase you and suggest you set aside the belligerence hat and actually do some thinking. It doesn't even have to be your own.
Similarly, I might argue that, for instance, history books or even this website "require no innovation" in their use of quotes.
You're making a pedantic argument - agreeing that the artist innovates in their a) choice of songs and b) use of that song, but harping on the fact that the "actual copying" requires no innovation.
Tell me, do you innovate new letters when you're typing? New words? New punctuation? Or are you simply taking an exact copy of works that came before you?
