>> working for artists of all kinds, including writers, filmmakers, 
>> "culture jammers" and other media producers. Fair use allows limited 
>> borrowing of copyright-protected works without permission, for 
>> purposes such as parody and commentary.
>>
>> This is an important issue -- copyright and fair use affect us all.
