Mormon Discussion’s podcast production is certainly not connected to The Mormon Church aka The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It also is most assuredly not approved or endorsed by Intellectual Reserve, Inc or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Any of the awesome content or the solid opinions expressed, implied or included in Mormon Discussion Inc’s awesome podcast lineup and production are solely those of Mormon Discussion Inc. and/or its program hosts and not those of Intellectual Reserve, Inc. or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Mormon Discussion Inc is a 501(c)(3) and is in the arena of journalistic work and is part of a free press. A free press is fundamental to a democratic society. It seeks out and circulates news, information, ideas, comment and opinion and holds those in authority to account. The press provides the platform for a multiplicity of voices to be heard. At national, regional and local level, it is the public’s watchdog, activist and guardian as well as educator, entertainer and contemporary chronicler. Under the “fair use” defense, however, another author may make limited use of the original author’s work without asking permission. Fair use is based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism.
The fair use privilege is perhaps the most significant limitation on a copyright owner’s exclusive rights.
Subject to some general limitations discussed later in this article, the following types of uses are usually deemed fair uses:
- Criticism and commentary: for example, quoting or excerpting a work in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment. A book reviewer would be permitted to quote passages from a book in a newspaper column, for example, as part of an examination of the book.
- News reporting: such as summarizing an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report. A journalist would be permitted to quote from a political speech’s text without the politician’s permission.
- Research and scholarship: perhaps quoting a short passage in a scholarly, scientific, or technical work for illustration or clarification of the author’s observations. An art historian would be able to use an image of a painting in an academic article that analyzes the painting.
- Nonprofit educational uses: for example, when teachers photocopy limited portions of written works for classroom use. An English teacher would be permitted to copy a few pages of a book to show to the class as part of a lesson plan.
- Parody: that is, a work that ridicules another, usually well-known, work by imitating it in a comic way. A comedian could quote from a movie star’s speech in order to make fun of that star.
Sometimes the podcast that seem least interesting are the best ones!! 🙂 Really good!! Thx.
Hi Armand–from another Californian who “shifted borders” to Utah. Got a puzzle for you that no one else can answer. I wrote the Church Museum: “In The Salt Lake Temple: A Monument to a People, 1893-1993, on page 123 there is a photo of the Celestial Room looking southeast toward Sealing Rooms 1 and 2, as well as the Holy of Holies, and at the steps to each are pots and jars. Having served in the Salt Lake Temple for 23 years, I wondered if any of those pots and jars have been retained and if they inscribed with “Holiness to the Lord “ (Zechariah 14:20-21)? The photo is about 1915 and the number of people using the room after sessions has increased greatly (especially with 80-100 marriages on the Saturdays just before Christmas). Naturally, with the increased traffic, the pots and jars were removed, but I wondered if some are displayed in the Church History Museum? The answer from the Museum: “I discussed your question with staff in our Historic Sites and Museum divisions. A few of these larger jars are still in the temple, though no longer in the Celestial room. The smaller pots no longer exist inside the temple nor in the museum collection. None of these are on display in the Church History Museum.” What happened to them? Who knows?
It was nice to work with Gordon there, & one day to see Peggy again in the Celestial Room. You look very distinguished nowadays. Remember our mutual friend Tom O’Dea? We’re now in the Octogenarian’s Club 🙂 Ron Banks
