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.
St. George is possibly my favorite city….from September through May. Summer there stinks. (We’re talking HOT shoulders, not just warm ones) 😉
Good luck with the move and the new job. I usually make it down there once every year or two to visit family in the area with my wife. It’s really a nice area. Take care, Bill.
Thanks Curtis
You will love it. I have tons of family in the area. I actually lived just north of there for years as well. I have always loved St. George.
Congratulations Bill!
Where did you get the expression of may the Lord warm your shoulders from?
God bless…
When I was Bishop, my first councelor always signed off his correspondences to me with that phrase and it stuck! He is the Bishop now!!! Good man
Awesome! Hopefully you have some speaking opportunities in Salt Lake!
I really like the town. I have family there. I will buy you a lunch the next time I visit there.
And I also laughed about the “warm shoulders” as I have poked at that before since where I am at we are already cranking the A/C on and hoping it stays warm for a solid week so we can go swimming.
We don’t need “shoulders warmed”, we need “armpits cooled”. That doesn’t have the same ring to it.
No, not the same ring. I would love to have lunch with you and other listeners. Looking forward to good times!
I’m down here in Vegas, we met on your last trip at Clay’s home. If you’re ever in Sin City, give me a shout 😉 Blessings to you and your family with this new opportunity!
