Episode 21 – Turn Turn Turn – Mind Virus Podcast

The general character and level of harmony in any society has historically followed cyclical patterns (often called turnings) that tend to correspond to generational trends. In this episode, Bobby and Jordan postulate on the current turnings of American and world society and whether this is simply a typical fourth turning relating to generational factors or if we’re caught in a larger super cycle with more far reaching ramifications.

This website and podcast contains some quotations and excerpts from copyrighted material. These uses fall well within the copyright doctrine of "Fair Use."

Section 107 of the United States Code, Title 17, specifies the conditions under which, "the fair use of a copyrighted work . . . for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching . . ., scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright." It provides four considerations for determining fair use: (1) The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes, (2) The nature of the copyrighted work, (3) The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, and (4) The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work.

The use on this website and podcast of other material is primarily for criticism, comment, news reporting, scholarship or research and teaching. (1) (a) The "purpose and character" of the website, podcast and any derivative book(s) are not commercial. (b) The overwhelming majority of the material is the authors' original work. It is in no way a mere collection of others’ copyrighted works, nor competitive with those sources. (2) The nature of the copyrighted work quoted is often "news" or "history," categories given lesser protection in fair use cases than works of fiction. (3) Most uses involve excerpts rather than entire works.

Because the adverse financial impact on copyright owners is central to the purpose of copyright law, and the analysis of alleged violations, it’s relevant to note that, under factor (4), (a) no one in search of the quoted material would substitute this website, podcast or related book(s) for the original source, (b) it is highly unlikely this website, podcast, or book(s) created from it will ever have more than a de minimis impact on any of the copyright works’ potential market, and (c) to the extent it might do so, it would be far more likely be a positive, rather than a negative, impact (by drawing attention to the work, crediting it, and providing a source where it may be found).

Your talk about copyright reminded me of this song: https://youtu.be/IeTybKL1pM4

Very simple explanation. But it will trigger the propaganda implanted in people’s minds (that’s even in the constitution) that information can be owned and controlled. That’s just silly.

Thanks for continuing the show. I enjoy listening.

After listening to the next episode, I decided to come back to this episode and let Bobby know that regarding Games of Thrones…I was all right with the end mainly because we needed closure! No end is what we hope for, but at least it was an end!
