"Notwithstanding the provisions of sections
106 and
106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include —
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a 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The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors."
MATRIXSYNTH is a news site. If you don't want it covered, don't put it out there. For what it's worth I have only received two requests to take content down in the last couple of years, but two is too many in my opinion. If you put it out there you usually do so to be seen. MATRIXSYNTH usually helps with that unless for some bizarre reason you put it out there not to be seen. Again: If you don't want it covered, don't put it out there. Once it is posted and people comment and link to the content, it stays up. See
Creative Commons for content control.
Update: This is not fair use:
