The happiest of all days, or at least, all copyright-law-related days

Did you know that today is Fair Use Day? Fair Use is the part of copyright law that lets you use copyrighted works in certain ways without the copyright holder's permission--you can quote or use excerpts for the purposes of criticism, satire, or educational purposes. We at deletia hq LOVE fair use because without it, I would be stuck writing nothing but 100% original material, all day long. Bo-ring!

Actually, we don't have fair use in Canada, we have something even vaguer called "Fair dealing." But I sometimes observe other countries' copyright holidays; that's just how I roll.
