Jessica This is patently NOT TRUE. US copyright law identifies amount as one of the four factors in determining whether a use is fair use, but it has NEVER specified that only the smallest possible amount is permissible.

The Georgia State ruling merely reinforces what has always been true about "fair use" that it is for using the smallest possible portion of a work to create a new one. VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
