[…] I spoke a bit about fair dealing in South African law in episode 1.6 and in this episode I present a discussion between Colette Vogele and Tony Falzone about Fair Use in an episode of Rules for the Revolution which was published under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License. This discussion is published under the same Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License notwithstanding Legally Content’s own Creative Commons license. I recommend that you visit Colette’s post on Rules for the Revolution for her show notes and that you subscribe to Rules for the Revolution which is a fantastic legal podcast focussed on American intellectual property law.
