Comedy Central's Charlie Sheen roast drew 6.4 million viewers Monday -- far short of the 27.7 million who tuned in to the revamped "Two and a Half Men" on CBS, but enough to make the roast the highest-rated, most-watched ever on the network.
The "Roast of Charlie Sheen," airing at 10 p.m., half an hour after "Men" concluded, was the most-watched telecast in Comedy Central history among 18-to-49-year-old viewers. It had a 4.5 rating in the demo.

It also had 10 million total viewers, including re-airings. The network said there was 249,000 tweets around the time of the roast and more than 118,000 during the hourlong show -- more than six times as many as during the network's Donald Trump roast.
As well as it performed, there was never any chance of Sheen's roast coming close to the numbers for "Men," which is the top-rated sitcom on television and aired on the most-watched network. Countless viewers tuned in to see how Ashton Kutcher's character would be introduced, including Sheen himself. He watched Kutcher's debut before switching to Comedy Central to watch himself.

The ninth-season premiere of "Men" drew a 10.3 rating/24 share in the demo, and was easily the most-viewed episode in the show's history. It was also the highest-rated show on television since the Feb. 27 Academy Awards, which had an 11.7 rating and 37.6 million total viewers.

FAIR USE

 FAIR USAGE!!!!

One of the rights accorded to the owner of copyright is the right to reproduce or to authorize others to reproduce the work in copies or phonorecords. This right is subject to certain limitations found in sections 107 through 118 of the copyright law (title 17, U. S. Code). One of the more important limitations is the doctrine of “fair use.” The doctrine of fair use has developed through a substantial number of court decisions over the years and has been codified in section 107 of the copyright law.
Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair:
    1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of 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
    4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work
The distinction between fair use and infringement may be unclear and not easily defined. There is no specific number of words, lines, or notes that may safely be taken without permission. Acknowledging the source of the copyrighted material does not substitute for obtaining permission.
The 1961 Report of the Register of Copyrights on the General Revision of the U.S. Copyright Law cites examples of activities that courts have regarded as fair use: “quotation of excerpts in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment; quotation of short passages in a scholarly or technical work, for illustration or clarification of the author’s observations; use in a parody of some of the content of the work parodied; summary of an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report; reproduction by a library of a portion of a work to replace part of a damaged copy; reproduction by a teacher or student of a small part of a work to illustrate a lesson; reproduction of a work in legislative or judicial proceedings or reports; incidental and fortuitous reproduction, in a newsreel or broadcast, of a work located in the scene of an event being reported.”
Copyright protects the particular way authors have expressed themselves. It does not extend to any ideas, systems, or factual information conveyed in a work.
The safest course is always to get permission from the copyright owner before using copyrighted material. The Copyright Office cannot give this permission.
When it is impracticable to obtain permission, use of copyrighted material should be avoided unless the doctrine of fair use would clearly apply to the situation. The Copyright Office can neither determine if a certain use may be considered fair nor advise on possible copyright violations. If there is any doubt, it is advisable to consult an attorney.
