Re: To Taser or Not to Taser? (4.00 / 2)

That doesn't apply to 'fair use' of articles that could be copied in their entirety from a web site.

You're also confusing the cost required to copy something with the value of the content, and saying - in effect - that just because something is hard to copy, it becomes more valuable.

Oddly enough, this is exactly the argument used by the RIAA and others to support DRM.

What I'm saying is it's much easier to do "fair use" with text than with other media. DRM doesn't enable fair use anyway.
