What copyright does specifically bar is easy to discover in most cases and there are many fair uses of copyright material. Creating the precedent of asking permission for new uses of said material is not good for the exchange of information as it detracts from potential fair uses.The purpose of copyright is to reward people for the creation of creative works because there is a social need and desire for such creation. If copyright becomes a hindrance to the use of such works, then it is acting against its purpose.Copyright law forces people and markets to behave far differently than they otherwise would and introduces many inefficiencies into the market, but it is allowed as it is a means to promote the generation of creative works. Do not allow it to become more of a hindrance than it needs to be.</blockquote>
