Former Academic Librarian:

Fair Use doesn't even get used in Colleges and Universities since there is such fear of litigation. How about we secure the fair use in our school first and than we can start talking about Fair Use for International Treaties.




I don't understand your position. TPP/TTIP create new major litigation risks, so without rejecting these treaties it may not even be possible to achieve the goal of risk-free Fair Use at schools in the first place.


My psoition is we have never had fair use in the first place. The dear of lossing your job because your orginization gets sued is intense.

So can we have fair use in education? The treaties cut down what even counts for fair use.
