Scratch

He has total right to use copyrighted stuff, because Scratch has some educational thing that allows it.

Fair Use.
Namco had no right. Copyright doesn't apply here. It's eduactional nature lets it have fair use.
Also, IT WAS A LITTLE KID. Do you walk up to a baby and yank it's bottle away and yell at it? No. You don't.

Better example:

Do you snatch a little kid's drawing of pac-man away when he's showing it to his friends?

Even BETTER example:

If you see someone has copied or forged something of yours, do you snatch it? YES.

Here's a petition for those of us who side with Namco, who think it is perfectly fair for Namco to ask the Scratch Team to take the project down.

Supporters: (1)

I'm actually kind of in the middle on this - wait, MaxTheWeirdo?

You're back! The TBG is kind of dead though, and the RPG fall was brought on my argument with Star. F&I has died.

But anyway...yeah, they should have warned the kid first. But you're right on this one, actually if it was for his own personal entertainment then it would have been OK.

Yep. I totally agree.

Um, wave, if you're reading this, take me off the other petition.

And put me on this one.

Protected under Fair Use.

Yep. It said directly in the link you used:

"Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include —

(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;

(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors."

So ha.
