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.
He sounds like a teenager high on pot. And why isn’t this about bill Reel?
@James “Anthony”. Not sure why you don’t use your real name. Why would this podcast be about Bill Reel?
You realize that these aren’t all about Bill right?
There’s a saying that we seek religion to escape from hell, but then we seek spirituality to escape religion.
I think that as we become awaken we sort of owe it to others to help aid them in their process of becoming self enlightened.
I still want to improve our religion while they still let me. While nothing is for certain, we can definitely benefit from having false certitudes as long as we are not overbearing with our personal views.
I identify well with those who are agnostic atheists. You don’t have a favorite “team” but you’re still continually open to new information.
JS taught that being sealed to your family is only relevant to the resurrection. The way the Church leaders talk about being together forever is completely nonsensical. What’s a family? Who stays with who? In-laws? Grand parents? Grand kids? The Church is intentionally mushy about their family being sealed doctrine and the fact that its members don’t logically think it through is stunning.
Excellent podcast, Skylar. Sincere thanks. I get you!!! Also, CONGRATULATIONS on your new marriage. Goodness and blessings sent your way.
