No it’s not, you don’t understand the law.
Fair use (in the US) it’s a protection of the first amendment however no one is obligated to facilitate that right what it means is that the courts cannot be used to subdue your right to use the content under fair use.
I don’t have to sell you to content in the first place, I don’t have to make it available for easy copy, I mean just 40 years ago we didn’t even really had home video on VHS, was I obliged to give you a copy of the film and a telecine machine so you can make a copy?
What about paintings? Am I obligated to allow you to take a photograph? Well you better call the police on like every gallery and museum out there...
Heck live events specifically have rules against filming, go into the movies or many shows with a camera and see how receptive they’ll be to that.
