Fair Use? Or Copyright infringement?

It might surprise no one to find I disagree. If you're going to go into something with even a remote potential for legal troubles, you best figure in the costs of that when you decide whether your planned enterprise might be profitable.

I don't think it's "bullying" to defend your copyrights with legal action, if informal settlement efforts lead nowhere.

But it's not about being profitable or not. It's about the fact that it actually cost him less to settle than it would have to WIN the case. That is a misaligned system, in my eyes. And it makes people afraid to be creative.
