[Rumori] my tedious journey through the brave new copyright world

[matt davignon]

I don't have the text of the law on me, but from what I remember, it'd be 
nowhere near the boundaries of fair use. It's right in the middle! If it 
were me, I'd show them a copy of the "fair use" clause of the copyright act 
and see if that eases their worries any.
