Re: Copyrights

Normally I would remain on the sidelines watching the copyright
activities, but I have a question of my own...

Now...I like gaming magazines.	I like the feel of holding a real
printed magazine in my hands, (the Pyramid e-zine is interesting, but it
doesn't beat the feel of a real magazine to me) , the smell of the fresh
ink, the excitment of new articals, ect...But I am concerned about
wearing them out by constantly refering to a cool artical.

 Is it ok to copy said artical so I won't wear out my magazine?

I have been assuming that this fell under "fair use".  Is this so?
