Thanks for the comments and I am happy to read about the solution arranged as
well as to consider that diverse perception of the problem exist.
I would be very pleased to see people publish / republish my work, my photos etc
etc while quoting me, linking my site so that I can easily identify these uses
through software programs, search engines etc, asking for permission if they
want to reuse the materials in another context or republishing it etc. etc.
It's so easy to be kind in the digital worlds after all, no photocopies, just
links, URLs, addresses, nicknames that are easily managed with software.
Fair use doctrine is first of all based on the recognition of moral rights of
authors as a fundamental human right and I see even cultures very far from the
Western tradition converging towards that.
I think that if we want uses of digital materials to be governed by some sort
of civilised regulation, given the fact that nothing is for free, that should
be in the evolutionary trajectory of the fair use doctrine and heading towards a
balanced approach between owners of rights and users.
Kind Regards
