Let's start with a definition:
Illegal (in this case) is "Anything that violates copyright law and/or
infringes on the copyright holder's rights as defined by title 17 sections
106-122 in a manner which can allow the copyright holder to take action
under copyright law." Illegal does not mean "Crime and go to jail", it
means "You've infringed on rights held by somebody else". And it CAN mean
that you can be litigated against in all cases.
Here's the thing:
Title 17 Section 106 (1) (
http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#106 )
------------------
Subject to <
http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107>sections 107
through 122, the owner of copyright under this title has the exclusive
rights to do and to authorize any of the following:
(1) to reproduce the copyrighted work in copies or phonorecords;
(2) to prepare derivative works based upon the copyrighted work;
------------------
So, let's say that you just took something off FA and posted it on
FChan... And OMG, you got a subpoena!
Quote to me the section of law (with source) that you (and Lafitte) claim
says this is okay and does not infringe and thus no action can be taken
against you.
