What's your test for when a use is ok and being held back by copyright law versus when it's damaging? Why is one ok but not the other?



I've seen the most people take the most issue with the insane "authors life + Xx years" that copyright lasts for, not really components of fair use.


Yeah it shouldn’t be much more than a decade imo. Being able to sit on a copyright for many many decades is genuinely just rent seeking, and bad for everyone.
