Yes, the situation would be different, in that the copyright laws are different. I make no claims to expertise in copyright law and my comments about fair use are definitely U.S. specific. For the U.K., I know there's "Fair Dealings," which facilitates defensible use of copyrighted materials for "criticism and review." But provisions and exemptions vary by country. I would still recommend further discussion with the journal publishers, regardless of where they are located. I think it's important to push the envelope and engage in reasoned debate about fair use concepts, especially since the definitions and practices are evolving and changing because of digital media. For us researchers, the ability to use (fairly) copyrighted materials in our research is a critical value. On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 11:45 AM, Jeremy hunsinger <jeremy@tmttlt.com> wrote:
