Re: Judge the book by its cover -- and read it anyway My Fair Use example (a Fox show using a CBS game show as a plot device) is exclusive of a licensed work. (If it were licensed, it wouldn't be an infringement, and Fair Use would apply in no way.)
Likewise, Fair Use never requires permission. Permission is license.
I think we're reaching agreement, for the most part.
Vehicle theft is rather actively prosecuted as a criminal matter -- it doesn't matter if the infringement is by a single person or as part of a conspiratorial enterprise, for monetary gain or for kicks. Copyright, on the other hand, is most frequently handled as a civil matter.
