After reading these articles I think the guidelines set up are fair… confusing, but fair. It seems that things started out very simple, but with the introduction of new technology it has become complicated. The line about what is fair use has become a hazy grey shadow. These guidelines interpret this shadow very well though. I also thought the way the crash course web site was set up was very creative. The first page gets it’s point across with interactive selection of sentences. These fair use rules are complicated, but necessary to protect the rights of everyone.
