In every talk I've heard about the sampling licenses, including at
the recent CC party IIRC, Negativland's role in developing the
licenses has been mentioned.

Every CC license has a clause like this one, copied from
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/sampling+/1.0/legalcode :

	Fair Use Rights. Nothing in this license is intended to
	reduce, limit, or restrict any rights arising from fair
	use, first sale or other limitations on the exclusive rights
	of the copyright owner under copyright law or other applicable
	laws.

My non-lawyerly understanding is that it shouldn't be possible for
a copyright license to restrict fair use rights anyway, with or
without such an explicit clause.

Disclaimer: I work for CC in a non-legal capacity.
