Hi Henry and Steven, Mad Norwegian Press keeps an eye on such cases. Everything they do, though, falls within the "fair use" guidelines of US copyright laws...
... You'll have to forgive me, I'm not as au fait with US IP law as I am with British, but aren't the limits of 'fair use' defined by case law? ... Do you...
Steve, Yes, there are limits to "fair use" as determined by law and precedent. For instance, I can write an essay about "Boom Town" and quote a few lines, but...

I remember that in one of the New Adventure novels Roz Forrester recalled a poster that was hung on the wall in the break room of her old Adjudicators' Lodge...
... Makes sense. I like the idea that while other NA writers were putting their mates in as extras, Lawrence listed his mate Phil as a dangerous psycopath. ...
It's in 'Christmas on a Rational Planet'--because when she's running away from the other Roz created by the Carnival Queen, she thinks of that poster, and that...

Time to face the unpalatable truth. Doctor Who books in 2007 no longer have the slightly overweight, slightly balding late thirties man with an encyclopedic...
... Um... Would you believe I've watched all the episodes. OK... well, would you believe I've watched half the episodes. How about I watched the pilot with a...
... Hee hee, the Doctor getting artificially separated from the TARDIS, thereby removing the simple solution. Whatever will those wacky authors think of next?...
... The one I always enjoy is "the Doctor not having to get artificially separated from the TARDIS, because the story is written to make all the obvious...
... Um ... I hate to suggest this, but if people read the book before criticising it for a Doctor Who story convention that applies to nine out of ten Doctor...
... No it doesn't apply at all. Sick Building is definitely not guilty of that charge, but to be honest I hadn't realised that anyone was suggesting that it...
... Then I refer the honourable gentleman to William December Starr's post: "And since there are only a few of them, it's simple and easy for the Doctor to...
... Ah but anything wds says on the matter is largely moot. The name Magrs seems to act as a red rag to bull with Mr Starr. To clarify - Sick Building is...
