What if… we do it anyway? lawsuit, injustice, takedown notice, the fall on your sword letter.
What about fair use? - if it's worth using, it's not fair use…. an insubstantial portion. If it's insubstantial, why copy it? “amount and substantiality.” To commentary, criticism, etc. Education, nonprofit, use little, is not fair use.
Schools: 250 words of a poem, 2500 word article or essay, or exerpt of < 1000 words or < 10%.
What about first sale - once a book is sold, you can resell it without repaying the copyright. Software is usually licensed - not sold.
Youtube? recording / broadcasting license
Zoom? isn't that ok? national emergency, pandemic? license
Play Youtube for event? license, they are only allowed for personal use.
But I dont have time - dont use.
