Jimbo about fair use:
Even so, I want to give some good and challenging examples.
My "first pass" would be these three:
(to which Imran added other good ones).
I would add http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles_(album) which includes album photos which are *not* the album cover (though they're certainly well-known as being from _the White Album_).
The page above also includes 'fair use' samples of six of the songs.

For poetry fair use:
[[William Butler Yeats]] quotes 8 out of 22 lines from the poem, "The Second Coming", which was first published in 1922, but surely has a later copyright due to republication in collected works, etc. Yeats died in 1939.

Its copyright won't expire before 2009 (death+70 years).

No, if it was first published in 1922, then it's in the public domain period. Later republications of the identical poem don't extend the copyright (otherwise, that would be a loophole to drive a truck through).

IIRC Any work produced in the EEA is protected for authors lifetime +70 years, and this limit applies in the USA as well due to the Uruguay Round GATT (1994).

Imran may be right on this. Yeats died in 1939, so the life + 70 of UK law should apply unless there was something in that law to prevent retroactivity of the law, in which case it would be life + 50 and all of Yeats works would be in the public domain. See [[Copyright case law]] where it was ruled that ownership goes by the law of the copyright owner's country.

How about this as an idea: wiki-tags for fair use, like this
<fair_use> Material that is being quoted under the fair-use provisions. </fair_use>
There would be no display rendering for the tags, they would be metadata only. This way, the material is both flagged for editors, and can be searched for by the software.

Since this wouldn't be used very often, it's OK that the markup is ugly and HTMLish. And it's certainly pretty obvious as to what it means.
