The question of whether a commercial interest/incentive is to terminal two, or matters at all to whether or not a given use of intellectual property/A copyrighted property  constitutes fair use

Whether this single factor is determinant of fair use, even if this legal standard is a bit outdated, echoes/recalls my idea that A commercial interest in something raises the standard of justification for it/that must be met for it to be justified/4 justification. For example, if people want to claim an exemption from a regulation out of a religious/ethical/or artistic position/police, they should be permitted to do so but at the cost of a higher tax rate. In other words, this idea about fair use is similar to the thinking that underlies my, perhaps counterintuitive, idea that nonprofit charitable enterprises should be taxed at a higher rateVan for profit Enterprises, not a lower one.


Higher standard for things that you engage in with a profit incentive means lower/less protection on free-speech grounds, religious liberty grounds, artistic and academic freedom grounds, etc.
