Does the WTBTS get permission to publish copywrited material in their Watchtower magazines? The WTBTS has been publishing PARTIAL QUOTES from other sources for decades. Do you think they ask permission everytime they take excerpts from copywritten material and put it in their study articles........especially when they CONTINUALLY MISREPRESENT the authors intended purpose? The only way these pathetic bastards can win will be in specific cases in which a host is unwilling to chance any legal fee's or troubles from the wealthy WTBTS. In that case...a new host is found.
'zactly. they misrepresent the narrative to prove their own wacky theories...which is in and of itself clear copyright infringement, permissions notwithstanding. now, from their own website:
