I will accept this - but so what. If I were a Supreme Court Justice I would wait until the action was brought against a non-profit educational institution. A fight between Texaco and CCC has little appeal since as a Justice desirious of overruling or limiting Texaco

I would want the strongest case for finding fair use.
