I have to admit I'd never really imagined putting the words "Mary Kay, Inc." and "SCA" in the same sentence before.
I have to admit that as a fair use activist, I began to believe that Morgan was using her position in the SCA to advance her professional clients' interests-- by trying to convince us that fair use didn't exist. Was she doing it deliberately? I don't know. Did she take on the job in order to preach the copyright owner's gospel? She certainly did not take a similar activist stand publically on behalf of the members of the SCA as copyright owners, but she may have been behind the arguments that kept the SCA from scanning heraldic submissions on the grounds that we didn't hold the the right to so reproduce works copyrighted by the creators, i.e. member illustrators (of course, that's something that could have been changed, easily, by a checkmark on the form...) which would have been fighting for the copyright rights of members as copyright owners...
