you just violated the bill of rights

you made the right to comment (free speech) dependent on a congressionally created exclusive right of control.

you reverse the priority of the two laws

which is exactly the point i am making

Your statement can be applied to anything. I can pirate a movie, show it in a cinema and put a comment in the bottom right hand corner saying "great movie". If publishing something protected by copyright is legal so long as it has a comment.

Can I put adverts next to the screen as well?
only if your a moron who doesn't understand how to support fair use and fight piracy at the same time.
