Re: Notice of REMOVAL-- saving KF

Hello everybody,
Well I'm back from my vacation, have read and carefully reviewed EVERY
post/thread on CSA2 (all 200 plus) concerning this issue and all opinions
concerning it.  Of all those expressed, I think the very best and logical
thread with the answer and solution and to all follows with my
comments on it.

we have this: << Yes, I believe it must (should) be locally defined. In the
U.S. there is a whole chapter of the copyright law which exempts educational
institutions from certain violations, IIRC.

My preference would be for exemption, rather than a "turley tax" :o)
Reformation of a violator tends to be easier than repealing a tax, at least in
the U.S.  :o)>>

And, I reply:  
I agree with you completely on all of the above as you outlined it.  Certainly
as the report was presented to the public (before it's removal) for it's
educational, reference value and use only and not in any way presented for
commercial use from the GS WorldView website, it should be and indeed is exempt
from certain violations alledged, concerning its presentation to the public.

GS WorldView and it's contents are a non-commercal, online virtual Apple II
educational and reference institution, presented to the public for  use as such
containing educational and reference articles, archives and graphics - just as
I and a multitude of others within the Apple II community consider both our
Apple II Usenet newsgroups and their online archive services (which currently
contain the report for public access and reference needs) to be.  

Reformation of a violator does indeed tend to be easier than repealing a tax,
at least in the U.S.  GS WorldView resides within the US.  Exemption is
certainly easier than  applying a "turley tax".  I certainly think reformation
of the matters apply, have been covered completely and no more need be said on
it.

Cheers,
Tom
