FAIR USE POLICY
1. Fair Use Doctrine Application
This website operates under the fair use doctrine (17 U.S.C. ยง 107) which allows for limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, and research.
2. Transformative Use
Our use of corporate logos and materials is transformative – we use them as references in critical commentary rather than for their original purpose. This adds new expression, meaning, or message to the original work.
3. Non-Commercial Educational Purpose
The primary purpose of this site is educational and critical commentary about business practices. Any advertising revenue supports this commentary function rather than constituting commercial exploitation of others’ trademarks.
4. Amount and Substantiality
We use only as much of any trademark or copyrighted material as is necessary to identify the subject of our commentary. We do not reproduce entire works or use logos in ways that would replace market demand for the original.
5. Market Effect
Our use does not negatively impact the market value of the original works. If anything, our commentary may generate additional attention and discussion about the companies we cover.
6. Good Faith
We operate in good faith, providing attribution where appropriate and ensuring our commentary is substantive rather than merely decorative use of others’ intellectual property.
7. Takedown Procedures
We respect intellectual property rights and will respond to legitimate takedown notices that comply with the DMCA. However, we will vigorously defend our fair use rights when appropriate.
