Wow! Hard to believe that a magazine editor is completely unfamiliar w/ fair use?!
I know, doesn’t that seem odd? I mean, it seems unrealistic. I know as a systems
admin I worked closely with the law team, especially with email issues. I just
think there must, MUST be more to this story. But then again, I find that many
people have no idea what the Internet is at all. So, it’s possible.
Peace!
