I think it is worthy of investigation. This is not an endorsement or an indication that I would consider using the exemption without having much more information.
It benefits us all to have raised awareness of the law imho.

(Kenneth Crewes and Kevin Smith making great presentations among others...) At a session yesterday, delivered by IP lawyers, the notion of the non-profit exemption for use of non-literary and music works was raised. Quite honestly, this is one exemption I don't recall hearing about before. Sarah McClesky commented similarly.
