Thanks. I do have a link to the entire doctrine, which is how I
managed to quote sections 106 (what I thought was the relevant
portion, despite "phonorecord" and no reference to, say, photocopying,
much less computers) and 107, but I hadn't noticed the amendments. The
Fair Use Doctrine, that is, section 107, *is* part of the original
document, however.

On a different and lighter note, being American, I would use double
quotes, not "inverted commas," for a Google search. :-)

Carol, wondering why single quotes are called "inverted commas" when
one of those so-called commas is facing the wrong direction
