Which again shows that "fair use" images are not free, applicable only
on american territory, and so is again an argument to do away with
fair use image on wikis in all languages, including the english
language.

In another related thread it was coprrectly pointed out that there is
a difference between the italian wiki and italy. I'd like to point out
that there is a similar difference between the english wiki and the
usa and gt britain. There is also Australia, New Zealand, Canada and
India to consider, where many people have english as their primary
language. Not to mention the rest of the world. :-)
