In that particular aspect I would say they're fulfilling it less well.
I'm not ideologically opposed to fair use, I just
think we really
need to pinch down on it. If every fair-use image had to run the
gauntlet of annual IfD-type polls, with only surly oldtime admins
voting :-), the net numbers would probably come out about right.
Ideologically, I'm basically for using every image we can possibly get
away with and then some. Fortunately, my ideology is not running the
project.
