> fair use is part of what keeps copyright enforcement from violating the first amendment Fair use is the compromise the court set between the 1st Amendment and copyright; a few narrow carve-outs along the lines of "free speech zones" to serve as a pressure-relief valve undermining any real reform. The parts of copyright not overridden by fair use remain an obvious violation of the 1st Amendment—just to a marginally lesser degree. Only a full repeal of copyright could avoid the violation altogether.
