Dear Friends & Colleagues,

The Brennan Center for Justice is pleased to announce the release of our
report, "Will Fair Use Survive? Free Expression in the Age of Copyright
Control." An e-version is now available online. We'd be grateful if you
could post notice of the report on your Web sites, blogs, listservs, and
e-newsletters. Here is some language you can use (of course, feel free to
edit, or write your own posting):

"Will Fair Use Survive? Free Expression in the Age of Copyright Control"
- from the Free Expression Policy Project at the Brennan Center for Justice,
NYU School of Law
http://www.fepproject.org/policyreports/WillFairUseSurvive.pdf
The result of more than a year of research – including many firsthand
stories from artists, historians, Web bloggers, and others – "Will Fair Use
Survive?" documents how the rights to fair use and free expression are being
threatened by an intellectual property system that is perilously out of
balance. The report includes six recommendations for change. Documentary
filmmaker of "Hoop Dreams," Gordon Quinn, proclaims that the report "is part
of a wider movement to educate people about fair use, and it's going to help
us users organize and reassert the right to fair use." For printed copies,

Thanks,
Marjorie
