PSC Copyright/ Fair Use

To PSC.com and anyone else that cares,

I understand that I have used copyrighted material on this piece of work. All 40 albums were used with out permission. I am trying to use it under the Fair Use doctrine under the US copyright law. I am far from a lawyer, but I’m going to try to argue my point.

There are 4 steps in deciding whether or not what I have done is protected under Fair Use or is considered copyright infringement. All four have to be weighed together.

1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

2. the nature of the copyrighted work;

3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

1. My work is meant to pay tribute to some of my favorite artists/bands. It does not in any way, try to deface it. Also, there is no commercial activity or profit being made for my work and this has been a huge educational exercise for me. I am also not denying credit to the original artist.

2. This has been a huge educational exercise for me even though it is art.

3. This differs between all 40 album covers I used. The more I like the album cover the more was used. I do not have an entire album cover in the work at all. Every album cover has been trimmed down to some degree.

4. Does my work degrade the value of the original work? I don’t believe so. This has no significant effect on the market for the copyrighted work. However, I did make it accessible on the web, and that can go against me. This is a tribute to all 40 Artists, and their album covers.

Over all When I used the Fair Use Checklist here. Fair use came out on top. That is from my point of view and you may think something else.

I had finished and uploaded my work before I even thought about that whole copyright problem. Your forum post reminded me, Rashdog. Even though it is part of the rules, it just slipped my mind. If you want me to remove it I will gladly do so. I just wanted to share my opinion on the issue. I have created a secondary picture with out copyright infringement on the ready.

Military Life

I'm coming up on my fourth year in the military and a huge decision is lurking around the corner. I joined the Air Force, thinking I was going to stay in for twenty years. After my twenty, I'd get out get another job and stay there until I retire again. With no worries and two retirement checks coming in, I'd be free to travel and run free.That is what I was expecting when I joined, but now I have a problem. The military wants me, but they want me to do something different than what I do now. What?!?! Get another job with the same company, when its not even close to what I do now. They want me to be Transportation, Services or something else that has nothing to do with Communications Maintenance. The reason that they are kicking me out of my career field is not because I suck at it, or that I don't want to be there. It's because I have been on the same base for too long. How can you punish me for something I have had no control of? I have been trying as hard as I can to get of Andrews AFB and go overseas or to another part of the country, they would never send me. I enjoy the job I have now, too much to work at the gym and hand out basketballs. I know some one has to do it but, I'm not that someone. Is it a sin to like what I do?Recently, I decided that I don't like a lot of the bullshit the military puts you through. In no particular order, I am listing some and by all means not all of the crap. - Shaving: if not at all then let me not shave in peace on my day off.- PT: mandatory PT (even if you are in shape and go to the gym regularly) and Air Force PT shorts are way too short.- Dormitory prisons: People were forced to live in the provided dormitories, even if they are good financially, and lived by themselves years before the military.- School: not paying for college as promised (the computers at the education office were down, so I had to cancel one of my fall semester classes.)- Repetitive Emails: I keep getting the same g/d email, with the person forwarding it to me only typing "FYI". Like I didn't receive it the first time, assholes!!- Job Security: I am tired of hearing that the military has good job security; I know first hand that they don't! What they have, is what I would call "Slot Security", if they kick you out of the career field that you are currently holding; they'll give you another slot in a different field totally unrelated to the one you have and enjoy.- Vaccinations: Why would you give me a virus that was named, "The Greatest Killer"(smallpox)? If I asked for it then give it to me but don't force that shit on me.I'm sure I can think of more, those are the ones that are on my mind right at this moment. I think I can only stay in the military, if they either give me a job that is close to what I want or let me keep the job I have. Right now I am working along side a contractor that makes more in a month than I make in a year doing the same job. WTF?! I want that. I'll look into it more in the coming months. I do have to say though, money is not as important to me as job satisfaction is. If I can do this job and make tons more doing it, then that's where I belong.Don't get me wrong, though. I have had great experiences in the military. It has given me so much, while at the same time, dragging me through huge piles of shit. Before, I would just stand up, wipe the crap off of me and move on. I don't think I can handle the crap ahead.I think that is enough bitching in this blog. I don't have much time to decide, so any input would be appreciated greatly.
