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. |
I don't get your point here and I'm not sure how you could possibly argue, based on what I have written in this thread, that I am saying it is ok to change the
format and upload the
content for all and sundry to have free access to.
I'm the one arguing that uploading the content, be it as a straight out copy or in another format, on the basis that "it's digital so everyone should be able to get it for free" is wrong. I don't care what word is used as I would think the meaning of what I am saying could not be any clearer.
It seems that others disagree and believe it is ok to get a "copy" of the "content" for free simply because it is in digital format.
