Quote...The CCIA report's numbers are staggering. The "fair use economy" accounted for 23 percent of all US real economic growth between 2002 and 2007. Fair use industries (core and non-core combined) generated $4.7 trillion in 2007. And "about one out of every eight workers in the United States is employed in an industry that benefits from the protection afforded by fair use...."

Kinda funny given how high up on that list of countries to watch out for, with India topping the list, as they have one of the best fair use policies in the world.
