New Rules, Old Rules?
Since we're trying to make this something of a refugee camp for SD - should we consider new rules that would make the same thing less likely to happen? I'd love to hear the SD mods' ideas on making the community more "copyright friendly." A quarter of a comic instead of half? A minimum of reviewing or comments so it's more like a legal review with fair use instead of simply posting comics to read?

At the very least we should probably try to find a backup of the old rules and post them in the community front page, if anyone has them.

For random legality:

I don't think whatever is freely available from other sources effects fair use, though. If an article reviewed part of a short story, and printed two paragraphs, that wouldn't mean an article in a completely different journal couldn't print three completely different paragraphs from the same story.

If there were multiple articles in the same journal printing enough of the short story that you wouldn't even need to read it... sure. But what one person does with fair use doesn't effect unrelated uses.
