US Fair Use Doctrine

Judge Richard Posner, who is looking after Lawrence Lessig's blog this week, has posted an interesting sequence of posts. The first looks at Fair Use and a (re-) introduction of some sort of copyright registry that would allow rights holders to signify their continuing interest in holding on to their copyright, and the second is an expansion on the whole idea of Fair Use. An interesting and quite light weight read, and probably a couple of links worth passing on to anyone who has an interest in Fair Use.
