Looks like it may just be me and you VP. The forums are almost ready.

Attila the Professor said:Not quite...I think there's something about how much of a work is used. If you're taking it in full, as it is about to be a commercial product, and allowing it to be obtained for free in a public forum...I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but that seems like highly questionable territory to me, and no claims on behalf of artistic purity (which is complicated enough to begin with when it's the artist himself doing the alterations) can truly change that. If you're just putting the bookends, or segments, then that <I>might</I> be fair use, but entire episodes? I'd very much doubt it.
