Fair Use - USA - can we have one of these please in NZ

Thanks a bunch to Renne Hobbs from Media Literacy Education who alerted me to this.

The Fair Use thing USA
The keynote I am beginning to grasp really clearly is that the USA copyright laws - e.g. the Digital Millennium Copyright Act - operates within the broader circle of Fair Use - i.e. Fair Use principles come first. New Zealand, like many other jurisdictions put fair dealing as an exception - it's not a constitutional right as it is in the US.
