You want to see craziness for Fair Use?
I have an Aunt who is a dean at Yale University. Someone added a family history to her entry
on Wikepedia. Others removed it. Once, I put it back. She emailed me and demanded that I
changed it because it wasn't in her image. So I archived the example as it was under
http://www.mrbrklyn.com/resources/ and edited to her liking. NOW she's demanding a
take down from my archive.
Do you think I'd remove anything from my online archives to satify relatives ego?
And here is the best part, she is fameous for her work on the philosophical analysis
of moral questions.
Its amazing how morally challenged people are when they want to have their way.

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attacted at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
