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.
If you want to play "find the
source", we can do that, but I don't see
the value in it.
Nor do I. You find a source, I'll find two. We could keep it up for
a long time, but suffice it to say it seems like there's not a
consensus, among lawyers or among the general public, on whether or
not fair use is a right.

Searching google for "fair use is a right" I get 200 hits. Searching
for "fair use is not a right" I get 99. Do we need to start going
through and evaluating the credibility of the sources? Maybe see
which ones are more impartial?
