Re: AP redefines free-use.
I really hope that doesn't stand. It sounds like a direct slap in the face to the free speech amendment. Or like a new playground law put in place by the resident bully to pretty much guarantee his lunch money.

This is ridiculous, and frankly, kind of amusing.

Re: AP redefines free-use.

The Dictionary - Priceguide edition Wow....... If that happens, Literature/Grammer Class mind as well be canceled. Seriously, I wouldn't pay billions just to learn words.

Re: AP redefines free-use.
Indiviually quote each word. Alternatively, quote BBC instead.

The most ironic thing is, I'm reading Fahrenheit 451.

Or just paraphrase and credit, instead of using that method involving the word-by-word quotation suggested by Lord Tim.

Re: AP redefines free-use.
Have you read the book for that movie?
See they make these documents out of paper and ink, with words in them! Authors make them up, and instead of a "script" it has plot!
And then you use your E MA JUH NA SHUN to visualize what's happening! Amazing!

Trippy stuff man. ...The point of the book was that people watched movies and lost the intelligence or patience to read a book, and slowly books were banned so everyone would be equal minded. You are part of the group that fictionally started the story in the first place.
