Interesting. I tried looking this up, because hey, if it's repeated over and over it shouldn't be hard to find. The first Google hit I found was http://www.eff.org/cafe/gross1.html - Understanding Your Rights: The Public's Right of Fair Use. But I guess the EFF has no clue what they're talking about.
Clearly, the EFF is an impartial source.
So the EFF is wrong? Or whether or not fair use is a right is an opinion?
It is an opinion, or at least, it is something that is under dispute. Citing the EFF in a dispute about fair use is like citing the NRA in a dispute about the Second Amendment--it won't convince the other side so why bother?
