DESCRIPTION:In October 2014\, the UK introduced a new exception to copyrig
 ht permitting “fair dealing” by way of quotation. In contrast to the p
 rior law\, the availability of the exception is not predicated on the exis
 tence of any particular purpose that a “quotation” must serve. This ma
 y bring UK law considerably closer to US law\, which has long implemented 
 a broad “fair use” defence codified (from judge-made law) in its 1976 
 Act. The precise effect of the change in the UK\, however\, depends on wha
 t courts come to understand by the term “quotation” and the extent to 
 which the concept of “fairness” is understood in the same way in the U
 K as in the US. Taking US fair use cases\, including the recently decided 
 Google Books case\, we will discuss why the US courts ruled the uses non-i
 nfringing\, and how British courts might react to similar controversies.\n
