The documentation of those intentions is rather extensive if you go search them out. We've stretched those uses far beyond the original intentions.When you stretch a law, the people that originally created that law (or other people benefiting from it) tend to get upset and ask the law to be rewritten to prevent it from being so broadly interpreted. Being that these people were the ones that had the power to make sure the law was put in the books in the first place, they usually have the power to make the laws get altered. As a result, the law becomes more restrictive and more complex. This creates more litigation and makes lawyers happy.I strongly urge anyone that claims use of 'fair use' laws to do some research on them before using them. There is a high cost for everyone is they are abused.</blockquote>
