An article in the Guardian (UK) points to a new group on copyright at
the WIPO - we should get involved in it!

"We need to stop shoe-horning cultural use into the little carve-outs in
copyright, such as fair dealing and fair use. Instead we need to
establish a new copyright regime that reflects the age-old normative
consensus about what’s fair and what isn’t at the small-scale,
hand-to-hand end of copying, display, performance and adaptation.
"
