While giving lip service to accepting and even loving Fair Use provisions of US Copyright Law (which lets someone show, for example, a still photo from a movie in a review of said movie without paying or getting permission from the movie owner), word that the US Trade Representative is considering expanding the watered-down and voluntary Fair Use provisions in the TPP is giving the MPAA and their media brethren conniptions.

As the EFF (and others) have pointed out, it's also interesting (if a bit disheartening) that this change in the USTR's attitude on the Fair Use bits of the TPP had nothing to do with various public interest groups that have been lobbying about it all along, but appears to be a response to major US corporate interests outside of Hollywood (Google, et al.) weighing in on the matter.
