What I can say most about the two terms, copyright and fair use, it that I respect them. I respect the right of others to hold sacred the works that they create. Some of the great literary works, or some of the best albums around have copyrights--why? Its because someone has put their blood, sweat, and tears into a project that they don't want anyone else to touch. I agree with this process of the law and I'm glad that its around....for all I know, I may have something interesting to copyright one day.
Researching topics for papers and essays all require that I obey copyright laws! I try to be really careful when using the works of other people, it can get tricky if you are not familiar with the subject which is why I like the aspect of fair use.
Fair use is grand! I'm not sure if this makes me a nerd or what, but I've been moved to tears by the words of some people. Some of the simple things I've read, some of the simple things I've heard makes me want to include them into things that I write...
One of the favorite things that I like to say is "if you don't like me at my best, you don't deserve me at my worst"...Marilyn Monroe said that. If it wasn't for laws like fair use, I wouldn't be able to use that in some of the things I write.
I haven't much experience with either topic, therefore, in a nutshell that's what they mean to me.
