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.
Enjoyed the humor, thanks guys!!
Warnings were fair. Clean enough for me.
Which general authority or apostle was it that said:
“Don’t they realize we’re just men doing the best we can.”
Great research…..nice to have new information. More information helps connect the dots to why policys come about. Every law and rule for every group (Religion, government, social, etc.) happens because someone does not use common sense and the zealots take charge and let the orthodox crowd control. That is where we are as a church, we have lost logic and letting ourselves be dominated by a fear and control narrative. It makes so much more sense when we learn the history.
Would you do a podcast on the 1953 CES week at BYU, that led to the “Follow the Brethren Policy”
Enjoyed the episode and the humor. Definitely learned some church history that I hadn’t heard before!
Nice episode and I learned some new things, so thanks for that.
I wanted to make one comment about Helmuth Hubener and the relationship between the Nazis and the slc headquartered mormon church before the outbreak of WWII and why so many members in germany would have been sympathetic with the Nazi regime. The mormon church was very friendly with the Nazi’s and even published a piece in the Deseret News titled “Mormonism in The New Germany” (linked here https://imgur.com/a/N4yFO for those interested) where they speak highly of the recently elected Hitler. The book Moroni and the Swastika: Mormons in Nazi Germany by David Conley Nelson details the cozy relationship the mormon church had with the Nazis both before and during the war, among other things.
Also, the link to the Sunstone article on Helmuth Hubener is not working for me, but there is an archived version of it that can be found here: https://web.archive.org/web/20161022075359/http://www.sunstonemagazine.com/pdf/024-20-29.pdf
Wow… I had no idea… thanks for sharing!
