    The big thing about Fair Use/Fair Dealing is it’s not automatic protection from any sort of consequence, lawsuit, or prosecution. It’s only a possible defense you can try using once you’re in court about it, and there are no guarantees it’ll work out for you.

    Fair Use/Fair Dealing has never been the magic “you can’t do anything to me” protection many people seem to think it is. A judge has every ability to decide what you did wasn’t a fair use and judge against you.

      This is not an argument against fair use, but against abuses of the fair use system. Everyone should be for reforming the system in such a way that it is not abused in this way, but that does not mean that we cannot implement a similar system for AI abuses.
