{ROUGH DRAFT} - US Copyright Law [Title 17]: song "covers" protected under Fair Use Act from abuse of DMCA.

i received a playlist in the mail, today [29March2021].

if a Strikedown Request comes to me through Twitch, for having played any part of it for my streams, instead of through the new Copyright Small Claims Board, i will petition the new Copyright Small Claims Board to enforce protections placed by "Fair Use" Act not only upon my use of the playlist but also upon the copyrights held by Sina Doe and Avonlea.

the only permission i DO NOT have, relative to this playlist, is permission to SHARE COPIES OF it, which i wouldn't do even with permission; you must purchase the playlist, yourself.

furthermore, if a Strikedown Request is aimed at Sina, for being the performer of the cover [referenced in the Stridedown] that i had played on my stream, i will DEFINITELY petition the new Copyright Small Claims Board for enforcement of "Fair Use" which protects the cover as Sina's original work.

{disclaimer} - if you would like to purchase this playlist, you must do so by having subscribed to Sina Doe on Patreon for three months.  having purchased the copy that you would, then, be playing on stream:  you are protected, as the copy's owner, under "Fair Use".  copies of all three Chi Might albums may be purchased from Amazon Music, and each track will come with a Purchase Code which will prove your protection from DMCA under "Fair Use".

hopefully, you subscribe to Sina for the long haul.  she is well worth the investment.

this playlist includes "covers", which are also protected as original compositions/performances by "Fair Use Act" [US Copyright Law (Title 17)].

this is my primary playlist, until i can decide on the language of the disclaimer for Halocene 's "DMCA-friendly" playlist on Spotify.

to be fair, in my [recent] first letter to the new Copyright Small Claims Board, i fudged what Halocene means by disclaiming that "These originals ARE NOT COPYRIGHT- NOR ROYALTY-FREE".  i forgot that i did that half-deliberately, then forgot and stuck my foot in my mouth when i told Halocene that i did it.

i have never claimed to not be the dumbest person on Earth.

when i first learned that Halocene has been streaming on Twitch, i refreshed myself on their music, and i spoke with someone in the comments of one of their YouTube videos about DMCA and maybe claiming them as my "House Band" for GooseandClover Broadcasting.  i was encouraged to be mindful that Halocene requests credit for all of their music that is played in a stream, which is never an unreasonable request from anyone.  also, my personal choice to forward all tips that i receive while playing their music during a stream, in their entirety, covers paying for royalties that i would owe them [i hope] for playing their music on stream, though i would prefer that tips are given directly to Halocene through their Twich channel's "donation" link. {... and tips can be given even when the recipient is offline; they will get a notification, one way or another, and would not have to respond to it immediately.}

"These originals ..." indicates Halocene's understanding, too, that their covers are protected under "Fair Use" as independent original compositions/performances, seems like, and i've been learning about that a little more intimately while watching their live Patron-only streams.
