"Fair Use Creep Is A Feature, Not a Bug" go EFF!
"In Hachette v. Internet Archive, four of the biggest publishers in the world, are trying to shut down Controlled Digital Lending, which allows people to check out digital copies of books for two weeks or less...
Supported by authors, libraries, and scholars, the Internet Archive has explained that CDL is a lawful fair use that serves copyright’s ultimate purpose: enriching our common culture."

  Fair Use Creep Is A Feature, Not a Bug
  from Corynne McSherry
  Lawyers, scholars, and activists, including EFF, often highlight Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and Section 230 (originally of the Communications Decency Act) as the legal foundations of the internet. But there’s another, much older, doctrine that’s at least as important: Fair use, which dates back many decades and it codified in law as Section 107 of the Copyright Act. Fair use is, in essence, the right of the public to use a copyrighted work in a variety of circumstances, without the rightsholder’s permission. It’s why a reviewer can quote from the book they’re reviewing, a parody video can include excerpts from a movie, and security researchers can copy a software program in order to test it for malware.
