514 LIMITATIONS ON EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS: FAIR USE<br />

such as an unauthorized YouTube remix. We would like you to answer some of those<br />

questions for yourself.<br />

• What do you think of the current state of the fair use doctrine?<br />

• Is its open ended, flexible and adaptable framework a strength or a weakness?<br />

• Does it provide adequate protection to copyright holders?<br />

• Adequate guidance to potential fair users?<br />

• Adequate space for technological innovation? Focus here particularly on the line<br />

from Sony through Sega to the search engine cases.<br />

We will begin the next chapter with a case-study that raises many of these issues,<br />

and that links back to the place we began this chapter: Sony and its connection of fair use<br />

to contributory infringement. Finally, for those of you needing a light hearted review of<br />

the fair use doctrine, you can try the free online comic book, Bound By Law. ‡<br />
