The Cornell Law School Legal Information Institute site has this nifty search engine, and so it's a great way to churn up all the decisions one might want to study regarding copyright. This Cornell site in general is terrific for copyright law, but I think this particular feature is worth highlighting, since it's neat and quick.

Fair Use is getting a lot of deserved nit-picking these days and Villanova Professor Michael Carroll's points are interesting contributions. Published as Villanova Law/Public Policy Research Paper No. 2006-21 and
North Carolina Law Review, Vol. 85, 2007, the paper is also retrievable on the Social Science Research Network (SSRN).
