Fair Use - Influence Internationally

Influence Internationally

While many other countries recognize similar exceptions to copyright, only the United States and Israel fully recognize the concept of fair use.

While influential in some quarters, other countries often have drastically different fair use criteria to the US, and in some countries there is little or no fair use defense available. Even within Europe, rules vary greatly between countries. Some countries have the concept of fair dealing instead of fair use. However many countries have some reference to an exemption for educational use, although the extent of this exemption may vary widely.
