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.
Perfect… beautifully expressed.
Beautiful examples.
Keep them coming, because there is so much that can be learned from one another.
Thanks David! We plan on keeping the stream of other couples interviews coming =)
Great stuff…
Thanks guys! I really appreciated the discussion about how Matt and Lindsay have managed their expectations of each other. I felt like they both had great ideas to offer from both sides.
Wait…what? Mormonism is a black and white proposition. It’s either ALL true, correct and up front…the “only true church on the face of the earth” and the “prophets, seers, and revelators” either speak for Christ and his church 100% truthfully, or not. Members are told over and over not to be “cafe Mormons” and pick and choose. They are also told over and over not to be “unequally yolked” with non-believers. So… Lindsay went to her bishop and told him she wants to sit in on HER children’s “worthiness” interviews. Well, what of ALL other children both before and now who are abused, coerced, and even the setting of precident that it is okay for any adult make to sit in a room with any child and on condition of negative consequences the child must be asked and tell private sexual (normal) behaviors and possibly shamed? That is only one example. How can you advocate exactly the opposite what church leaders say is wrong?? Having proof of church history whitewashing and even lies, crimes, and abuse as well as the horrible deceptions currently, then say you don;t mind your “eternal companion” simply seeing things differently? Ummm, yeah Doesn’t work for me. Either the church is what it claims (which we know it is not) or it is a fraud. And really, you should not live a life without personal integrity let alone bring up children to live lies. Your podcasts are angering and confusing to me.
