USC Title 17 § 107 contains the definition of fair use within the US. >> But what we're really talking about is "I am breaking to law if I copy >> and paste EVERY verse from e-Sword to wordpad on the same computer."

Start with USC Title 17 § 106. Copying a copyrighted work beyond the implicit permission given via fair use and without explicit license is copyright infringement. This is about as basic as it can get. You really need to take a step back and consider ceasing from posting. You're not going to win the argument. You're not going to win any kind of respect or get anyone to assist you. And you're not even going to win anyone's sympathies. Your posts make it clear that you don't actually understand the law and choose name-calling, insult, and nonsensical repetition as your tools of argument. Please do cease. It will prove to us how Christian you are and put us all in our place. --Chris _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
