The problem is that there is a law to protect the muggers and a law to protect the mugged. The law to protect the muggers is easy to enforce and the muggers hang out at the same donut shops as the police. The law to protect the mugged is mostly theoretical and you have to pay a cover charge to get in the donut shop.
The fact that a law has 'fair use' exemptions tells you all you need to know about the fairness of the law and the fact that the fair use exemptions have to be renewed every three years tells you every thing you need to know about the intent of the people who created the law.
