The Village Pump discussion

shows that en Wikiquote hasn't really understood that the massive copyright violations and the violation of the WMF licensing policy restricting the EDP media to a minimum cannot be tolerated longer.
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Seinfeld has 1000+ quotes. In the future a limit of 5 quotes per episode is planned. Let aside the unsorted quotes the result would be that the article would have 180 x 5 = 900 quotes. I personally cannot imagine an US court accepting these number as "fair use" and I cannot see any educational use of these quotations legitimating an exception from our policy.
Here is an interesting Quote (with educational value):
"A company published a book of trivia questions about the events and characters of the "Seinfeld" television series. The book included questions based upon events and characters in 84 "Seinfeld" episodes and used actual dialogue from the show in 41 of the book's questions. Important factors: As in the "Twin Peaks" case, the book affected the owner's right to make derivative "Seinfeld" works such as trivia books. ( Castle Rock Entertainment, Inc. v. Carol Publ. Group, 150 F.3d 132 (2d Cir. 1998).)"
I would like to ask WMF board and its lawyer to give legal advice to the en WQ project.
