Every single time nospam denies facts like a flat earther does, he shows
his true colors... <https://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/more-info.html>

It's tiresome to hear low-IQ no-education idiots like nospam claim that
merely downloading stuff is "copyright infringement" when Google supplies
_entire_ books (random pages obfuscated) and that's NOT copyright
infringement, nor are a billion other "fair use" downloads of copyrighted
material. <https://ogc.harvard.edu/pages/copyright-and-fair-use>

The problem with people like nospam is...
a. They don't own the IQ to comprehend copyright law contains tenets
b. All of which must exist for it to be considered copyright infringement
<https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/fair-use-rule-copyright-material-30100.html>

In summary, it's no longer shocking that these low-IQ no-education iKooks
can't comprehend something even as simple as fair use copyright tenets.

It's no longer shocking why I lump people like nospam with only a score of
IQ points below normal with those like Alan Baker with scores below normal.

Every single thing nospam claims is easily shown to be completely false.

The question is why?

The answer seems to be that nospam is _desperate_ to claim that everything
he can't figure out how to do on iOS (but not on the mac!) is illegal.

As with Alan Baker and the rest of the iKooks, it is no longer shocking
that you can tell nospam a hundred times that fraud ALWAYS requires
MULTIPLE tenets to exist, only one of which is obtaining the goods or
services, and yet, he just doesn't own the IQ nor education to comprehend.

An _adult_ would comprehend what Steve's argument is.
Not an iKook.

The only thing an iKook like nospam cares about is to defend the huge
crippling flaws in the iOS platform to the point of declaring that every
functionality that nospam _hates_ doesn't exist on iOS must be illegal.

Fraud requires a whole bunch of things to exist for it to be fraud.
Just watching the sports events in and of itself is not fraud.

It's no longer surprising that nospam can't comprehend that fact.

All the iKooks suffer from the same three debilitations...
1. They have a low IQ
2. None have any education in legal matters
3. All defend every flaw in Apple products to the death

because his ONLY goal is to defend the crippling flaws in iOS to the death.

If you filtered out what you call the ikooks, there'd be nobody left here
but you and maybe two or three other people who aren't Apple nutcases.

pirating stuff from usenet (or elsewhere) is not in any way fair use.

fair use is a *defense*, not an excuse to intentionally pirate.

put down the shovel before you dig yourself an even deeper hole.

Yet again, nospam, you prove you have a substandard IQ and no education.
*What's amazing is that you are actually the _smartest_ of the iKooks!*

It's interesting that you iKooks always form a VERY STRONG belief system
based on essentially zero actual facts, and even when facts are involved,
you iKooks don't own the IQ nor the education to comprehend complexities.

For example, you know I substitute teach STEM classes at the local schools
and yet you are likely completely unaware that the actual _use_ that you
put a copyrighted material to is a key part of some of the fair use tenets.

Hence, I could download a specific file and in one use it's copyright
infringement, and yet, in an educational use - it would likely not be.

Yet that trivially simple example completely eludes you strange iKooks.
Why?

I suspect you simply _hate_ that your beloved iOS is so crippled that it
can't do any of these functionality things that every other platform does.

Hence, speaking of a "defense", you defend the stone-age primitive crippled
iOS at all costs, claiming everything you can't do on iOS must be illegal.

As I study you iKooks (because I've never met people like you in all my
decades of working in Silicon Valley and going to the finest schools in the
country), I find that _every_ statement from you reeks of your low IQ and
almost complete lack of education nospam - since that's a trivial example.

It's no longer shocking you don't own the IQ nor education to comprehend
even that most trivial of simple examples that the _use_ also matters.

instead of putting down the shovel, you chose to bring out the backhoe.

it's a good thing you don't teach law, because what you describe is
infringing, and a fair use claim is highly unlikely to absolve you of
any liability.

Misunderstanding copyright law is another example of _why_ you're iKooks.

a. iKooks can't understand anything slightly complex (aka *you're stupid*)
b. And iKooks know nothing about anything (aka *you're uneducated*)
c. But worse... *your ego is tied to the profits Apple makes* off of you

Therefore *you iKooks defend Apple to the death*, which, in this case means
*You claim everything iOS can't do must be illegal*

Even though every other platform can do it (including the macOS).
