@Billi That's not the point in this case. The question really is, how far does the concept of fair use according to US-law expand. That's a legitimate question. If fair use allows this, as Prof. Lessig argues, then there really is no need to ask beforehand.

Your personal feelings towards this are as they are because you are looking at it from the background of another legal system ... No "Fair Use" in Germany, but "Schrankenbestimmungen" des UrhG.
