The Fair Use Doctrine

[Carol]

"Scholosatic"!

Carol again:

Well, not exactly a typo (like "not" for "note" somewhere in that
post), but I meant books about published *works*, not published
*authors* (though, of course, biographies of authors also contain many
of the authors' own words, both excerpts from books and extracts from
personal letters. Or they used to before written communication was
superseded by the ephemeral e-mail message!)

Carol, not quite as confident as Humpty Dumpty in "Through the Looking
Glass" that her intended meaning is intelligible ("When I use a word,
it means just what I choose it to mean--neither more nor less")
