Anyway, fair use is a complex issue, and more than a few cases have up held the full copying of a work, though other cases have found infringement with just a few sentences.
Issues to consider, we are a non-profit, educational resource. The copied portioned are copied for the purposes of criticism. Much like the use of “Imagine” in “Expelled.” Also IEEE is the primary copy right holder I believe. And the fact that this is an “academic” publication should all be weighed in your decision about how you want to pursue this.
I am curious why this is a battle you are so eager to fight? |
This should get tasty. Uncommondescent, where everyone is a lawyer, polymath, philosopher and biologist (except the actual lawyer is incognito as a pseudo-scientist, the 'scientists' are the church choir, philosophy begins and ends with a narrow view of Jesus, the journalist can't write, the maths don't add up, and tard reigns supreme.....)
