Practice question
Does commercial character alone necessarily defeat fair use under the en banc main decision in FILSCAP v. Wolfpac?
- No; purpose and character require more than a commercial-versus-noncommercial label.
- Yes; every commercial use is categorically excluded.
- No; because commercial uses automatically qualify.
- Yes; the other statutory factors may never be considered.
- No; because copyright applies only to nonprofit entities.
