Comparison

Fair dealing applies only to those uses or exceptions mentioned in the law. However, under fair use, the list is illustrative and very subjective. Fair dealing has a narrower scope compared to fair use as fair dealing can be applied only for the given purposes, while fair use should only pass the test of fairness even if used for a purpose not specified. Fair use is flexible and adaptable to changes leading to uncertainty. Fair dealing exceptions have been argued to be uncertain as well, especially terms such as ‘parody’ and ‘satire’ are not defined by law and there exists few case laws on the same.

Why?

1. WikiForge is an American wikifarm. We do not need to go by the British Fair Dealing system.
2. Fair use is more flexible and subjective.

Comment: Shouldn't need an RFC. should have just been a quick mention in the forums, as we kind of have to switch over due to being on an American platform. Eternity Media Group (talk) 00:12, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Mainly used the RfC to get people talking as I don't have access to AVIDcord, even though I want to go through an appeal process

just use the on-wiki forums. Eternity Media Group (talk) 04:08, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

OK. Close if needed. Will post to forms if not resolved unless I change template naming.
