The 'fair use' issue has come up on this list several times, so I  
thought others might be interested.  Basically, a group (the article  
mentions Oracle, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Sun, and Red Hat as  
members) is trying to expose overly-broad assertions of copyright by  
content providers as bogus.  Sounds like a good thing to me.

Their website is here : http://www.defendfairuse.org/index.html
