"The Supreme Court has told us that fair use is one of the 'traditional safeguards' of the First AmendmentAs this book makes abundantly clear, nobody has done better work making sure that safeguard is actually effective than Aufderheide and Jaszi. The day we have a First Amendment Hall of Fame, their names should be there engraved in stone." -Lewis Hyde, author of Common as Air: Revolution, Art, and Ownership"
