[WikiEN-l] Fair use (was Using RachelCorrie's name as a user name - sickening)

[Daniel Ehrenberg]

I think Wikipedia should consider the fair use doctrine null and void.  Under the DMCA, pretty much any distribution of copywrighted material is illegal. (I know I shouldn't be saying this on the list, but the RIAA is suing someone for distributing software in Yale that emulates Napster and they're trying to get 97.8 trillion dollars.)
