Yes, we could agree on it if only you stopped putting the word "copy" in there - its a bad word, really!

According to what you just wrote up there, I could convert your piece of content to morse code and then upload it to darknet, making no additional "copies" of original in the process and be home free doing it. Which is obviously absurd.

If you start off defining "fair use" and "unfair use" of digital objects, using the term "copy", you will end up with nonsense.
