So fair use is unquestionably rooted in free expression, which certainly is a well accepted human right (UNDHR Art. 19). Albeit like every right, there are some differences between jurisdictions in how the concept is put in practice - hence the 3-step test, attempting to harmonize that some extent.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Robin</div><br><div><div>On Jun 2, 2015, at 12:12 PM, Metalitz, Steven wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; "><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">I realize I am coming in late to this conversation but I believe Becky is correct.

Traditionally, the three-step-test has been seen as a sort of limit to fair use provisions (US and similar jurisdictions) as well as for specific exceptions and limitations (civil law countries) - as a ceiling to such provisions (which was only agreed in the 1960's if my recollection is right). However, there are differing interpretations which see the test also as a more "empowering" provision, also enabling new interpretations of existing limitations in light of societal change...<br><br>Jorge<br><br><br><br>-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht-----<br>Von: Burr, Becky [<a href="mailto:Becky.Burr@neustar.biz" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">mailto:Becky.Burr@neustar.biz</a>]<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>Gesendet: Dienstag, 2.
