Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use
Fair use
Additionally, the fair use defense to copyright infringement was codified for the first time in section 107 of the 1976 Act. Fair use was not a novel proposition in 1976, however, as federal courts had been using a common law form of the doctrine since the 1840s (an English version of fair use appeared much earlier). The Act codified this common law doctrine with little modification. Under section 107, the fair use of a copyrighted work is not copyright infringement, even if such use technically violates section 106. While fair use explicitly applies to use of copyrighted work for criticism, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research purposes, the defense is not limited to these areas. The Act gives four factors to be considered to determine whether a particular use is a fair use: the purpose and character of the use (commercial or educational, transformative or reproductive); the nature of the copyrighted work (fictional or factual, the degree of creativity); the amount and substantiality of the portion of the original work used; and the effect of the use upon the market (or potential market) for the original work.

Tyson was such a Young Phenom years ahead his peers.......except for Holyfield By time they came into there prime as contenders to Challenge him. Bowe, Lewis, Mercer, Moore and Morrison........Mike was in Jail. Lost the Undisputed Championship to a journey men. Which cost his SuperFight Vs Undefeated Prime HolyField. Other than Razor who gave Tyson HELL 2X because Mike though Fit and Focused Never went back to the Peek A Boo Style Cus Drilled into his HEAD for YEARS! Don did not help but Tyson is to blame for throwing away the greatest gifts in Heavyweight History. ........his own.

    • If Tyson had beaten Holyfield, Bowe, Lewis, George Foreman after he won the championship or after Foreman fought a good fight against Holyfield, or if Tyson had beaten the Ukrainian champ (Tyson was still in his 30's), then Tyson could have been considered one of the greatest. Tyson never beat 1 of these guys, just a middleweight Olympic champion named Michael Jackson......I mean Michael Spinks. Lol I think Tyson's greatest victory was against Tony Tucker, but even then Tucker clearly broke his hand and was able to hit Tyson with multiple combinations......no doubt Ali would have used Tyson's head as a punching speed bag.

Spinks actually a good fighter, he remind me of holyfield before move up to heavyweight (they had similar style on attack mode, which is jab and combo punch, but in defence mode holyfield use guard and spink use slipping).

    • @@joeb2588 I have no idea what fight you guys were watching. I have watched the fight many times, although it's sickening, because we knew it was totally rigged. Personally, I scored it 12 rounds for Holmes, 2 for Spinks and one dead even. Not even a remotely close fight. Then Spinks went on to fight bums like Stephen Tangstead and Gerry Cooney. I actually think had Michael Spinks and Cooney fought 10 times, Gerry would've knocked him out 8 of 10, but didn't have it on that night. Had he hit Spinks with that left hook he hit Norton with, Spinks would've died in the ring. Honestly, I would've loved to see it. My ONLY regret about the Tyson/Spinks fight is that Tyson didn't get to manhandle him even more so, and just absolutely PUNISH and destroy Spinks, and draw it out for longer, the same exact way Julio Caesar Chavez did to Not so Macho Camacho. Chavez could have knocked his ass out midway through that fight, but promised everyone that once the fight was over, even Camacho's family wouldn't recognize him the next day. He wasn't lying! I wish Tyson would have punished and disfigured that little coward, pansy, Michael Spinks. But hey, beating his sorry ass in 91 seconds was pretty satisfying too. I wish he would've landed an overhand right to Spink's face the same exact way he did to Michael Johnson, that knocked out Johsnon's two front teeth. Spinks vs. Holmes I was close but still a joke, since it was basically a draw, and Holmes was the LONG TIME Heavyweight Champion, and looking to tie Rocky Marciano's record of 49-0. Spinks vs. Holmes II was a total and complete joke, that I think turned a lot of then boxing fans completely off, including me at the time. I was only 15-16 years old, and remember just being totally irate. I couldn't STAND Spinks' style of "fighting". Run, run, run, then have these little fits in the last 10-12 seconds of a round, doing NO damage to Holmes whatsoever, but would be able to persuade judges and win a round, he had zero business being in. Michael Spinks was a good, not great, Light Heavyweight fighter. But thank the Good Lord, that Mike Tyson made him look like the total bum that he was. It's a black eye to boxing that shows a Spinks victory over Holmes at any point. "Spinks Jinx, my ass". More like having the judges in your back pocket. I loved it after this fight, Spinks vs Holmes II, when The Great Easton Assassin, Larry Holmes, looked into the camera and said the immortal words, that still ring so very true. "I can say to all the judges, referees, and promoters, to kiss where the sun don't shine, and since we on HBO, that's my big black behind". Yes SIR Mr. Holmes, and how well said. Larry will go down as a top 3-4 Heavyweight in history, and Michael Spinks will go down as a total pansy ass bum, that 75% of true fight fans say he lost the first fight, and 99% of them say he lost the second fight. Thank the Lord, Mike Tyson came around, just at the right time, and absolutely humiliated Michael Spinks. What jinx was that he was talking about? He was the most scared to death fighter I've ever seen before Tyson basically castrated him on live TV during that fight. Michael Spinks was total garbage as a Heavyweight fighter.

    • @@thelevisullivan Holyfield began his career as Cruiserweight, Moorer began at Light Heavy, so neither was a real modern day heavyweight, they’re not like the super-Heavies that were fighting by then. You are correct, Moorer beat the lineal champ, but long after Spinks had beaten Holmes, and Holmes was a natural heavyweight, not to mention dominant, and an alltime great, historic, long term HW champion, longer than anyone but Joe Louis. Also, this isn’t Moorer’s fault but Holyfield lost that fight as much as Moorer won it, that’s the fight after which they discovered a problem with Holyfield’s heart (non-compliant left ventricle, and a small hole between the upper ventricles, the symptoms of which were severe fatigue in the Moorer fight.). Spinks is the one and only name that matters in this achievement. Roy Jones and James Toney - guys who won “a heavyweight title from some guy with a belt” - don’t belong in the same conversation as the LINEAL LH champ winning the LINEAL HW title by defeating the long term HW champ. It’s only been done once. And Moorer did it 8 years after Spinks against an Evander Holyfield who, that night, was missing one of the main attributes that made him the HW Champion, his conditioning & endurance. Holyfield won and retained the title (until Bowe) because he outworked bigger guys. He was a shell of himself in the Moorer fight. Again, not Moorer’s fault. Just saying.

Had Muhammad Ali fought the SAME exact fight, against Michael Spinks, all three judges would've scored the fight, 15-0, 15-0, 15-0 for Ali, and everybody damn well knows it. Holmes took it up the ass in this fight, and it's hard to ever forgive these two crooks, who had the extreme audacity, to give the fight for Spinks. What a total disgrace to boxing, this night was.

No doubt, Larry is the bigger, more powerful true heavyweight here, and he shows up big many times. But, Spinks just keeps battling back, even backing Larry up, which looks impossible because of Larry’s muscular heavy stature, compared to Spinks’ lean physique. But, it was Spinks’ spirited rebuttals throughout the fight, where the judges, in clear boxing conscience, could not say that Larry convincingly performed better, enough to take the title away from the reigning champion. Jinx Spinks always had in mind the way Larry beat up on Michael’s brother, Leon. Like a good brother, Michael avenged his beloved brother.
