"Fair use" is a USA copyright idea. In Ireland (& UK) there is a weaker "fair dealing".
Annoying the US constitution is nicer about copyright, since it says that copyright is explicitly for limited time, and that it's to benefit the arts & sciences. Whereas the European Charter of Fundamental Freedoms (which was only enacted recently), just states that "Intellectual property shall be respected". No limits, no purposes. ☹
