John Thomas "Jocky" Wilson (22 March 1950– 24 March 2012) was a professional darts player from Fife, Scotland. After turning pro in 1979 he quickly rose to the top of the game, winning the World Professional Darts Championship in 1982, then again in 1989. A contemporary and rival of Eric Bristow, Bob Anderson and John Lowe, Wilson won many titles in his career including the British Professional Championship a record four times between 1981 and 1988, as well as the prestigious British Open and Matchplay titles. He suddenly retired from the game on 23 December 1995, withdrew from public life, and was rarely seen in public or gave interviews before his death in March 2012.
Early life
As a child, Wilson's parents were deemed unfit to raise him and Wilson spent much of his childhood in an orphanage. Wilson served in the British Army from 1966 to 1968.
He had been a coal delivery man and also a miner at Kirkcaldy's Seafield Colliery. However, it was a spell of unemployment which was to prove the catalyst to Jocky achieving darting greatness. During this period of unemployment, Jocky entered a darts competition at Butlins, Ayrshire in 1979, which he went on to win, claiming the top prize of £500. His success at this tournament convinced him that he should turn professional as darts was beginning to become popular on television and the World Championship was in its infancy.
Jocky Wilson's Darts Challenge, is a computer game of darts, created after famous darts champion Jocky Wilson. The game was published by Zeppelin Games and was released in 1989 for the Atari 8-bit family, Commodore 64, ZX SpectrumAmstrad CPC and Amiga. Music for the game was composed by Adam Gilmore. Music for the Amiga version was composed by Stuart Taylor.

Jocky Wilson. "Two times, Darts Champion of The World!"
The simple humanity and honesty of this man, and his spectacular genius associated with one particular thing in life should never be forgotten and for me, is truly inspiring. Nobody, before or since ever played or took part in anything, let alone Darts the way he did. He hid nothing, there is no cover up, or gaslighting here. It is all there to see, and he clearly was, what he was, which particularly in the modern media age (especially for anyone who describes themselves as Woke) should be admired. If you have any doubt about this, and what a rare commodity this is (nowadays), just watch this video and listen to the comments of the late Eric Bristow and others. To some, if hopefully not most, he may be, as The World moves on, one of Scotland's greatest, yet sadly often overlooked sporting...

Additionally, the fair use defense to copyright infringement was codified for the first time in section 107 of the 1976 Act. Fair use was not a novel proposition in 1976, however, as federal courts had been using a common law form of the doctrine since the 1840s (an English version of fair use appeared much earlier). The Act codified this common law doctrine with little modification. Under section 107, the fair use of a copyrighted work is not copyright infringement, even if such use technically violates section 106. While fair use explicitly applies to use of copyrighted work for criticism, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research purposes, the defense is not limited to these areas. The Act gives four factors to be considered to determine whether a particular use is a fair use: the purpose and character of the use (commercial or educational, transformative or reproductive); the nature of the copyrighted work (fictional or factual, the degree of creativity); the amount and substantiality of the portion of the original work used; and the effect of the use upon the market (or potential market) for the original work.
