- From [Kevin O'Brien](https://lists.hackerpublicradio.com/pipermail/hpr/2019-May/003683.html): "Fair Use is not, in the U.S., a right recognized by any statute. It is best understood as "the right to hire a lawyer"."
- From [stankdawg](https://lists.hackerpublicradio.com/pipermail/hpr/2019-May/003692.html): "Sorry. Not worth the risk. I appreciate the contribution and do not want to discourage the submissions. But it is too dangerous. And for the record... no one else can voluntarily accept responsibility. It falls back to me as site owner no matter what."
- From [Ken Fallon](https://lists.hackerpublicradio.com/pipermail/hpr/2019-May/003695.html): Remember that our policy is also a commitment to anyone using our feed. I know there are downstream projects like college radio, workplaces, shops etc that are using our feed. They would not need to buy a public music license, for feeds [that] contains *only* Creative Commons content.
