It's funny that there's no direct translation of the English word 'fair' (in this context) in German. The closest I know is 'gerecht', which means 'lawful' or 'just'. 'Fair' appears in the German dictionary as a "German" word now, but I don't hear it used a lot in everyday conversations in Germany. My observation is that in Germany, gray areas are avoided. You're either allowed to do something, or not, in clearly defined situations, so the concept of 'fair' doesn't get used often. This tightening of the copyright rules is just another way of removing gray areas.
