alt Hacker NewsI wasn't aware I could read 95% of Harry Potter through constructed queries using Google's search index. Can you demonstrate how I might do this?
Also can you point out how copyright law changes because we're using an "electronic system" as opposed to an "analog system?"
You could do the equivalent if they would let you. They don't. That's the point I was getting at. How the thing is used is what actually matters, not that it has "absorbed" copyrighted material.
I never claimed any change in copyright law. Only that one analogy was more direct than the other for the purpose of the current discussion.
You didn't answer my question. What point were you trying to make with your earlier reply?
