The funny part is most of the headlines want you to believe that using things without permission is somehow against copyright. When in reality, fair use is a part of copyright law, and the reason our discourse isn't wholly controlled by mega-corporations and the rich. It's sad watching people desperately trying to become the kind of system they're against.

Fair use is based on a four-factor analysis that considers the purpose of the use, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount used, and the effect on the market for the original work.

It is ambiguous, and limited, tested on a case-by-case basis which makes this time in Copyright so interesting.
