Talk:Educational Media Awareness Campaign/Art/POTD 4

Public domain and other use of material
The blurb says "For works of art created in the 20th century, normally you cannot reuse any copies." This statement wholly ignores fair use, as is hence a lie.

One can use a copy of a work to discuss the work; I believe that this statement is not so much misconception but part of an orchestrated attempt across the wm to strengthen property, as in intellectual property but also as in real estate, in opposition to the ideas of the public domain that go to social sharing, which is how humanity evolved.

The wm commons refuses to support fair use, and not for any legal reasons. This fact supports my above statement.--JohnBessatalk 13:49, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
