Instagram and social media are ruining travel. In the past, tourists went to where the guidebooks told them to go. Today, some people choose their destinations based on what’s currently trending,...

Do you mean like "Guns don't kill people, people do"?

FYI, the judges was Dana L. Christensen

I believe he was appointed by president Obama when the Democrats controlled the Senate, fwiw.

Generally you would be correct. Merely adding text and a message would not be enough to justify fair use. In 1994, the Supreme Court said for a work to be transformative and eligable for fair use...

@Olifaunt That is circular reasoning and by extension no fair use could ever exist if the harm were the hypothetical licensing fee for any transformative work. In addition, it would bar free use...

Normally just adding some text wouldn't necessarily make it a seperate work of art. But when the text totally reverses the meaning of the art, from being a positive message about the candidate to...

The work was transformed. The intent of the original piece is clear: a positive message about the candidte. The intent of the derivative work is clear: a negative message about the candidate. It...

In this case, the meaning of the artwork was clearly transformed. The original photograph was a positive message. The derivative piece was a negative message.

Same here. My D500 has two card slots, an SD and an XQD. If i use both, the camera takes longer to write, since its writes at the slower SD rate. So my SD card slot goes empty. I'm happy the Z7 ...

Yes. In Kienitz v. Sconnie Nation LLC, the Seventh Circuit identified the fourth fair use factor—market harm— as the most important when finding fair use of where an apparel company created a...

The four fair use factors are: (1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether the use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; (2) the nature of the...

@MikeRan, yes that is one of the factors the Supreme Court has indicated would allow for fair use.

In Kienitz v. Sconnie Nation LLC, the Seventh Circuit found fair use where an apparel company created t-shirts, in collaboration with a local activist group, that featured an artistically altered...
