Happy Fairuseday!!!
That's right, July 11th is the third annual fair use day. Fair use is a long established concept, dating back to 1841, allowing anyone to use large portions of copyrighted material for parody, satire, or analysis. The concept was integrated into US law in 1976.
Nowadays, with an increase in fair use, corporations are trying to sue or otherwise prevent people from using the copyrighted material they themselves didn't create, but merely own the copyrights for. So today, educate yourself, and try it out.
