The article is very good for background, however not as good for drawing
firm conclusions. I'm sure someone could prepare a brief for various
positions depending on which cases they cite and in which judicial
district they were finally adjudicated. Precedent established in one
district is not necessarily binding in another. To a greater degree than
in most other legal issues, each case is dependent on
circumstances that can vary widely.
Notwithstanding the fact that the party bringing an action has the duty
first to make their case, the burden is still on the one accused [of violating a
copyright] to show why his use of the material is permissible under fair
use.
There is another principle: "When no wood is added, the fire goes
out."

Good
link (and I don't just say that because it supports what I've
written

converge
on what is politically correct rather than what is true, but
they got it
right in this article.
