[Foundation-l] precisions about the recent WMF "fair use" decision

[David Strauss]

Not only do I agree, but I believe a similar issue surrounds fair use. 
Accusations of U.S. centrism are indefensible when they're based on 
restrictive laws in non-U.S. countries.

Now, that doesn't mean there aren't practical advantages to 
accommodating other countries' needs, but the lack of doing so is hardly 
"U.S. centrism."
