Swami Balendu tries to remove our blogs


We received a notice today about our blog and that Swami Balendu has lodged a complaint for republishing his article without copyright permission. What he may not know is that under the government copyright laws it says,
————————————–
“ Under the fair use doctrine of the U.S. copyright statute, it is permissible to use limited portions of a work including quotes, for purposes such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, and scholarly reports. There are no legal rules permitting the use of a specific number of words, a certain number of musical notes, or percentage of a work. Whether a particular use qualifies as fair use depends on all the circumstances. See FL 102, Fair Use, and Circular 21Reproductions of Copyrighted Works by Educators and Librarians.
—————————————
He himself is ridiculing and disrespecting the Hindu Guru Pratha and Scriptures but when he is questioned on his ideas he is not able to tolerate it. Pretty impressive I must say. If you look below there is no conflict legally with analysis of ideas or I must say idiotic ideas.
Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair:
    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
    4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work
