# Disputatio:Centum Maximi Eventus Millennii Secundi

### E Vicipaedia

I would consider this to be fair use on the grounds that:

1) This is not an entire article that was published in "Life" magazine. When Life did their top 100 events of the past millennium, they wrote half page-long descriptions of each of these events and what impact they had. I merely listed them. There is a general rule saying that having up to 10 percent of a copyrighted work is considered fair use, and this is much less than 10 percent of the original article.

2) This article in the Wikipedia is for educational purposes and not commercial ones.

3) While the original was written in English, this was written in Latin- a language that also not too many people understand.

4) The Life article from which this list comes is out of print.

  Not only written in English, but in America, where the fair use license is a tricky thing indeed. With all the latinists we have here, I'm surprised we don't have a few more lawyers.--Ioshus (disp) 13:13, 29 Octobris 2006 (UTC)

  Coming from Continental Europe, I find the "fair use" concept funny. The four reasons you give only explain why it might be permissible to use the contents that are copyrighted by Life magazine under certain circumstances. The reasons you give may of course be valid grounds in certain common law jurisdictions. But just to get you right: you do not deny that this article incorporates copyrighted content, do you?
